Hollywood Case File #5 - The Battle of Los Angeles

Through the night of February 24th 1942, LA was plunged into a blackout as American forces at the beginning of their war effort defended the county from an enemy attack. However, it became apparent the following morning that there had been no enemy and no attack. Any damage sustained had been from the American troops themselves, so what were they firing at?


At the Mystery on the Rocks bar you’ll find a retired sleuth, the bartender trying to settle his tab, and the down-on-her-luck lounge singer, solving mysteries and drinking cocktails. Each week a new guest enters the bar and attempts to solve an unsolved mystery alongside the regulars. Hosted by Masud Milas, Chris Stokes, and Sooz Kempner. It’s a high concept comedy and true crime podcast, set in a fictional crime-solving bar (with real cocktails!). The focus of the show is to attempt to crack a real, unsolved mystery from history – true crime and bizarre occurrences, all with a whodunnit or WTF happened question hanging over them. Masud makes the drinks, Chris tells the mystery and Sooz sings and plays live piano – and everyone chats and chimes in with their theories.
