The camp isn't there anymore, but the podcast tracks its rise and fall throughout 2021. Anna's the host of a new podcast from KCRW called City of Tense Veterans Row. It's about a rather unusual encampment of unhoused military veterans. This is about half the size of Central Park in New York City.
When the Veterans Administration failed to build the homes it promised, unhoused vets built a tent city across the street — in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in Los Angeles. KCRW’s Anna Scott tells their story in “City of Tents: Veterans Row.”
This episode was produced by Avishay Artsy, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Patrick Boyd, and hosted by Noel King.
