Take Two translates the day’s headlines for Southern California, making sense of the news and cultural events that affect our lives. Produced by Southern California Public Radio and broadcast from October 2012 – June 2021. Hosted by A Martinez.
To mark Earth Day this year, we’ve been exploring how the faith of Southern Californians shapes their attitude towards nature. We’re calling our series, “God is in the garden,” inspired by a quote from George Bernard Shaw: "The best place to seek God is in a garden. You can dig for him there."
