The Harbor Area Podcast
It's all about coastal living in here, folks. There is so much history and happenings all around us and we should talk about it. The Harbor Area Podcast is born out of a true fascination with the area (San Pedro, Long Beach, and Wilmington, California). Join me for a dose of research, with a dallop of fun. A new episode will publish monthly.
