Podcast Description
This program features historic news stories. Each report provides you with a California perspective -- the events either covered occurred in California or are presented from a California and west coast perspective.
Many of these reports were produced or delivered by Mike O'Sullivan during his tenure as the West Coast Bureau Chief of Voice of America, and are repackaged for this podcast in an effort to celebrate and preserve the enduring value of public broadcasting, as well as to reflect on the events in the world around us as they were reported 10, 20 or 30 years ago.
