Today, Julia, Rider, and Tod discuss three articles from Alta Magazine, the publication based in California that focuses on news, history, literature, and culture, with a decidedly Western bent. Its founder, William Hearst III, declares it to be "a literate magazine that serves as a counterpoint to the New Yorker."
Articles discussed:
- "The Accident on the Pacific Crest Trail" by Louise Farr, about the tragic death of a hiker
- "When the Mafia Came to Lodi" by Andrew Dubbins, about the mafia's attempt to infiltrate California and the undercover case that took them down
- "The Search of a Lifetime" by Julian Smith, about a woman investigating a cold case of her grandfather's murder
