KCRW’s Curious Coast
5-10 min segments, 2017-19
Information: I scripted and performed this series for KCRW’s Santa Barbara outpost, based on listeners’ history questions. The episode on Carpinteria Beach won Third Place at the Los Angeles Press Club’s annual awards for Lifestyle Segment. Some audio was not readily available, I am trying to source copies.
