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.
Los Angeles in the 1980s was a lot of things: Koala blue boutique, Aron's Records on Melrose, Giorgia Beverly Hills, Wolfgang Puck's smoked salmon pizza and Belinda Carlisle driving a white Cadillac through Hollywood.
The current issue of Los Angeles Magazine takes us on a tour of that '80s scene and shows how the city and the decade shaped each other.
Editor Nancy Miller joins the show to discuss the decade when Los Angeles had "a moment."
Contributors include the Go Go's Belinda Carlisle, Ice Cube on his memories of the Raiders, and filmmaker Robert Townsend, who directed "Hollywood Shuffle" in 1987.
