Our take on Imperfect Paradise podcast

Imperfect Paradise feels like an honest California postcard, capturing its glamour and grit. Antonia Cereijido hosts this weekly deep-dive into stories that resonate beyond the Golden State, hitting on bigger American issues. The kicker? Every subject unfolds over multiple episodes, so you get real-deal investigations, not just quick takes. To give you a taste, there's a series about a yoga influencer swirled into the world of fake news and another following a sheriff who flip-flops on his values once in power. The menu is diverse. Weekly episodes clock in at about 40 minutes, but time vanishes. If you love meaty storytelling that grips you, you'll dig this. Imperfect Paradise is a society & culture podcast by LAist Studios.
