Long Beach Chisme is a podcast hosted by two lefty queers threading together all the stories, politics, and people making up LA County’s biggest small town. From housing to workers’ rights to the environment—every big city issue shows just how much politicians, developers, and police work together to maintain the status quo. Join co-hosts James Suazo and Daniel Speer along with special guests as they laugh, cry, and dig into the political histories and drama surrounding efforts to make Long Beach a better city for all. LBChisme is produced and distributed in partnership with FORTHE. The views and opinions expressed in the podcast do not necessarily reflect those of FORTHE. Logo by Basil Larios.
