Underbelly L.A.
You might think of Los Angeles as the city of sunshine and bright Hollywood lights. And it probably is that, to a lot of people, but the thing about bright lights is that they always cast shadows. On our new podcast, Underbelly L.A., host Hadley Meares explores the secret side of the city — the shadows beneath the spotlight. Each of the ten episodes of the first season has Hadley, a writer and historian, telling a story that that you may not have heard on other podcasts about true crime or Hollywood history. Please, join us on the shady side of the street.
Find out more about Underbelly L.A. on the official website.
