Imperfect Paradise, the award-winning weekly podcast from LAist Studios, today announced the first part of its 2024 story slate, kicking off with a story about a group of dancers working to unionize one North Hollywood strip club and the pitfalls they faced along the way. Hosted by Antonia Cereijido, other upcoming four-part stories will focus on topics including: the negotiations over the Colorado River water crisis; complex and often contradictory experiences with US-Mexican immigration; a major metropolitan area like Los Angeles’ relationship with deadly predators; and progressive district attorneys, like LA’s George Gascón, now facing re-election challenges.
Shana Naomi Krochmal, VP of Podcasting, LAist Studios commented, “After relaunching ‘Imperfect Paradise’ last year with a new format and weekly cadence, we have seen the show’s audience grow dramatically and received positive feedback from our listeners, the ones who matter the most. ‘Imperfect Paradise’ has established itself as an always-on, weekly flagship program for LAist Studios.
