Pres./CEO HERB SCANNELL said,“When LAist STUDIOS launched over just two years ago, we committed to creating a space for vibrant and innovative voices that reflect the ethos of LOS ANGELES to harness the power of audio storytelling. The diversity of our city is what makes LA so special and LAist STUDIOS seeks to capture that in all that we do, beginning with our commitment to being a studio where all areas of production are staffed by creators and storytellers of underrepresented backgrounds. This ambitious slate tells a breadth of LA stories to the world that will resonate here and beyond borders”

Exec. Producer ANTONIA CEREIJIDO led the development of the slate, which will add more shows as the year progresses.
