Hi. Bill Barol here, the producer of HOME. In this first episode of Season 2, I break with format a little bit to tell a story that is about a home but isn't, strictly speaking, from L.A. It's about the process of unmaking a home after the death of a parent. (Mine.) I went back and forth on the propriety of telling this story, set in Philadelphia, on a podcast that lamag.com described only...

Hi. Bill Barol here, the producer of HOME. This week it's a true Hollywood story -- about the high human cost of a booming real estate market, and what happens when a thriving self-made community of artists, writers and musicians gets pushed aside in the name of "luxury." I hope you'll give it a listen. Thanks!

This is an episode about Andy Puddicombe, who left college at 22 and spent a decade tramping the world before returning to the UK and landing, eventually, in Los Angeles, where he leads the meditation platform Headspace.com. He’s lived in so many countries that he has trouble recalling them on demand. How did his travels, and his training in Buddhism,...

Wondering what, if any, controls are in place to prevent (or discourage) an over-zealous curator from essentially hijacking "My Feed" by submitting a ton of links in a given (followed) topic in a short time. This isn't entirely a theoretical question, by the way; it happened to me this morning in the Travel topic, and introduced a mild but real element of friction into my experience of using My...

@Jason: The 3.0 product is sufficiently different from previous versions that there's a bit of a learning curve. Unfortunately, the version I DLed this morning still has the in-app tutorial ("Inside 101") for some earlier iteration. For example, it still includes the thumbs up/down functionality, which you guys seem to have abandoned. Any plans to update the "Inside 101" feature? I really want...

+1 for the above. It's a minor, but real, bump to have to click forward to a story and then back to add it to a magazine. I guess toolbars and frames are like totally 1998; is there a 21st-century functionality that would allow this? Otherwise, I'm really digging this Web implementation of the excellent mobile app.
