From growing up around Starkist Tuna and Vista Seafood to building a career as a criminal prosecutor and serving as Los Angeles City Attorney, Nuch shares stories rooted deeply in place and people.Together, Mike and Nuch reflect on the relationships that shaped San Pedro, including Johnny’s Pool Hall and the tight-knit harbor community that defined generations. Nuch also opens up about prosecuting gangs in Compton, living under constant protection in public office, and why education and early intervention matter more than force alone.This is a conversation about legacy, responsibility, and what it truly means to come from Pedro.Subscribe, rate, and review to support the show.
