818’s and Heartbreak Interview

This week our spooky month keeps rolling right along as we are joined by community organizer and congressional candidate (CA-30) Shervin Aazami to talk about the Santa Susana Nuclear Disaster! That's right, a nuclear reactor had a meltdown in the Valley's backyard in 1959 and the effects are being felt by people and the environment to this very day. Oh, and most people didn't know about it until 20 years after it happened. Classic stuff.    Below is the link to the stellar NBC investigation we used as the source for this episode https://data.nbcstations.com/national/KNBC/la-nuclear-secret/
