Let's yap about YAP with the Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center!

This Week Simi Got Weird

This week was a little bit of everything. I recap several major local headlines, including a tragic train incident, a major drug bust, local election results, an $8 million recreation project, and a donut disaster. I also share highlights from Simi Fest at Cronies, which brought together tons of community spirit for a fun-filled weekend. Plus, it’s time for another Aldi Finds roundup! The Fourth of July aisle is already packed with festive goodies, Father’s Day offerings are surprisingly limited, and summer merchandise continues to roll into stores. If you’re planning backyard barbecues, pool days, or just looking for a few fun seasonal finds, I’ve got you covered. It’s a week of serious news, strange news, community events, and shopping adventures.

Hoodoo You Love?

From Utah's National Parks to hometown heroes, this week’s episode covers a little bit of everything. I thank the Ventura County Fire Department for their response to the Sandy Fire, recap my Utah getaway, share a few Aldi finds, and talk about SimiFest happening this weekend at Cronies Sports Grill.

Coming Back to Breaking News

After a lengthy break, I’m finally back behind the mic! This week, I’m catching up and diving into the developing situation surrounding the Sandy Fire, including community impact, local response, and what residents need to know heading into a busy holiday weekend. I’m also rounding up a few Memorial Day weekend events happening around town. A little news, a little community, and a long-overdue return episode to kick off the unofficial start of summer.

From Encore to Erringer

This week, I’m recapping my 🎰Vegas🍹 adventure—think over-the-top glam, a little chaos, and a rockin’ night with Cheap Trick. 🎸🏁 Back in Simi, we’re trading slot machines for small-town fun with ArtsFest, Junk in the Trunk, and the Fishing Derby—where the only gamble is whether you actually catch something! 🎣 And of course, we’re going all-in on Aldi Finds: a magical spring Disney drop, garden goodies that are plantastic, and viral beauty buys that are totally worth the 🛒 space! From jackpots to junk, glam to garden beds—it’s a full house this week!! ♠️♥️♣️♦️
