Monica Bushman
Producer, LAist Studios
(she/her)
I'm one of the producers on the LAist Studios podcast How To LA.
Before joining the How To LA team, I worked on other LAist Studios podcasts including The Academy Museum Podcast, Retake and Hollywood the Sequel. I got my start at LAist on the broadcast side, as a producer on Take Two, The Frame, and our local broadcasts of Morning Edition and All Things Considered.
Prior to coming to LAist, I worked on NPR shows like Talk of the Nation and Morning Edition.
When I moved back to Southern California after living away for several years, I had to overcome my fear of driving on the freeway (think Dionne in "Clueless"). I've mostly mastered the driving part, but am still working on the ability to give out directions like "The Californians" on SNL.
