I paused Monday's @marketplace.org episode just under 13 minutes in and came back to it a few hours later. Truly the worst timestamp at which to restart. Cold open: "To get the feel for summer-ween in action" Excuse me, what? Oh. Yeah. Early Halloween.

This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous.

Cries of Defiance and Songs of Joy in Los Angeles
