Episode # 62: Biodynamics & Yiddishkeit

Join us this week as we visit with Altadena’s own compost guru, Tim Dundon, for a mind-expanding primer on how to get composting in your own backyard (or balcony) in no time. We’ll also talk with Professor Paul Rood about the surprising Jewish influence on BIOLA, Downtown LA’s Christian university, through the stories of Daniel Rose, Charles Feinberg and William E. Blackstone, BIOLA’s first Dean and “the father of Zionism.”

We’ll also discuss the upcoming OpenStreetMap Edit-athon, the Underground Museum’s new group show “Veils,” Hamburger’s Department Store in escrow and the discovery of a large section of the historic Zanja Madre aqueduct in the excavations for Chinatown’s Blossom Plaza project. All of this and more as Kim and Richard usher in the week of April 21st, 2014.
