California Underground

California Underground

California Underground is the podcast for the tens of millions of Californians who are fed up — and done being ignored.

Started in 2018 with a simple idea: in a state this big, this diverse, and this complicated, there are millions of people who don't fit the progressive orthodoxy — conservatives, moderates, independents, libertarians, and just plain frustrated Californians who want their state to actually work. They weren't extreme. They weren't fringe. They were underground.

Live every Tuesday at 8pm on YouTube, we break down California politics, policy failures, government waste, and the stories the mainstream California media won't touch — with honesty, commentary, and zero spin.

This isn't left. This isn't right. It's accountability.
