Venice Pulse
Venice Pulse is a podcast focusing on news and events in Venice Beach and the surrounding areas.
It is hosted by Venice residents Sandy Clark and Chuck Whobrey. Sometimes they have guests.
Sandy has been on the cutting edge of both written and televised journalism for the last 30 years. Her credits include NHK, CBC, ABC, BBC, AMI (various publications), the Daily Mail and the Westside Current.
Originally from the UK, Chuck was once on the BBC's Newsnight talking about "Ecstasy". Besides that he has no qualifications whatsoever when it comes to hosting a current affairs type show.
Intro Music: "Trip" by DJ Nick "Feesch" Wilson
