Since the Paris Summer Olympics just ended and handed off the next games to Los Angeles, we’ve got a bit of Olympic fever. Hosts Danielle Wolff and Eloi Gerard discuss the history of the Olympics in Los Angeles, the plans for the Olympics and Paralympics in 2028, and some of the challenges the city faces. We also talk about the connections of Downtown Los Angeles to the Games, including venues, infrastructure improvements, and the history of the Los Angeles Athletic Club.
