This episode of LA#itself features a conversation with Angie Jean-Marie, Social Innovation and Marketing Manager at the Goldhirsh Foundation, and her predecessor Shauna Nep, Senior Philanthropic Advisor at Fundamental. Jean-Marie and Nep tell us about LA2050, the Goldhirsh Foundation’s ambitious grant crowdsourcing “initiative driving and tracking progress toward a shared vision for the future of Los Angeles.” We discuss the origins for the novel crowdsourcing approach for philanthropy, the inherent opportunities and challenges, and how LA2050’s staff makes annual micro-adjustments to capitalize on Goldhirsh’s long-term funding agenda. As you can imagine, there are a lot of moving parts.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
