National Review’s Radio Free California Podcast
National Review’s Radio Free California podcast is a show about the perilous state of the Golden State — and what that means for you, wherever you live.
Episode 18: Back to the 1940s
David Bahnsen (The Bahnsen Group) and Will Swaim (Cal Policy Center) take a trip with gubernatorial candidate Antonio Villaraigosa – back to a time when America’s anxiety about urban blight coincided with nearly boundless faith in government planners. All that, plus plastic straws, and a wrestling match with one of the nation’s largest investors, the California Public Employees Retirement System.

Intro music by Metalachi, the LA-based mariachi/metal band.
