À propos de ce contenu audio

Western Edition -- a podcast from Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West and hosted by its director William Deverell, historian of the American West -- seeks to engage Angelenos, Californians, and Westerners as critical thinkers, conscious consumers, and informed community members. The podcast tells the fascinating stories of the people and communities of our region, connecting the past to the present, and demonstrating the tightly woven fabric of history.

The forth season, Hidden Pasadena, digs deep into the “Crown City” of the San Gabriel Valley.

The third season, Memorializing the West, explored historical memory, commemoration, and memorialization across the American West.

The second season, L.A. Chinatown, examined the past, present, and future of one of L.A.’s oldest neighborhoods and one of the first Chinese American cultural centers in the U.S. The first season, The West on Fire, looked at the West’s relationship with fire.

Western Edition is produced by Avishay Artsy, Katie Dunham, Jessica Kim, Elizabeth Logan, and Eryn Hoffman. Western Edition is a production of the Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West.

      Watersheds West: The Mighty Snake
      Feb 17 2026

      The Snake, a one-thousand mile long river and watershed of great beauty, captured the heart of host William Deverell decades ago. The complexity of this watershed is at once historical and contemporary, and the Snake flows into an uncertain future at every point along its long journey.

    • Watersheds West: Trouble at Glen Canyon

      Watersheds West: Trouble at Glen Canyon
      Feb 10 2026

      The history of Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River is one of Navajo connections to the river and canyon, colonial aspirations of a Civil War veteran and a Latter-Day Saints community, as well as the concerns of radical environmentalists in the 20th century. This episode explores how this watershed is tied to layers of history and stories about the role of water in western settlement. It also offers dire warning about the future of water across the American Southwest.

    • Watersheds West: Freeing the Klamath

      Watersheds West: Freeing the Klamath
      Feb 3 2026

      The history of a dammed Klamath River is part of the broader history of settler colonialism, resource extraction, and the control of water in the American West. This episode shares histories of Native resistance and refusal as well as the history of the movement, both Native and non-native, to bring a century-old system of four hydroelectric dams down, free the Klamath, and feed its systems of lakes and wetlands.
