Summary: Tune in to Episode Five of the Esotouric podcast as we talk with Michael Dawson, of Dawson’s Book Shop--a Los Angeles institution since 1905--about his work on the newly-published photo book William Reagh, A Long Walk Downtown, which chronicles the destruction of 19th century Los Angeles by the encroaching corporate footprint through the mid-20th century. We also check in with David Kipen, proprietor of Libros Schmibros, a lending library and bookstore in Boyle Heights, about his work fostering culture and community along East First Street. And we visit with Susannah Gordon, Visitor and Volunteer Coordinator of the extraordinary house museum Casa del Herrero in Montecito. All this and cultural musings as Kim & Richard usher in the week of February 18th, 2013.
