The 805

The stories shaping California's Central Coast, hosted by Jonathan Bastian.

About The 805

To some, The 805 is the last idyllic stretch of Coastal California. But to those who live here, it’s more complicated than that. The area is a mashup of immigrant communities, sensitive coastal environments, and a growing tech industry. Plus, there’s the history of artists, writers and craftspeople who have turned these sleepy cities into a world-famous cultural hub. Join KCRW's Jonathan Bastian for a weekly conversation with the people shaping this unique region. Tune in Fridays at 3:30pm or listen online at KCRW.com/the805.
