Issues & Ideas: Allegations of love fraud, Central Coast economic health and modern dance

On this week’s Issues & Ideas, a hit true crime podcast in Australia tells the story of a mysterious woman who allegedly defrauded a family and then escaped to the Central Coast.

The podcast's producer tracked her down in San Luis Obispo. Also, you may have heard the words 'economic vitality' thrown around, especially if you live in San Luis Obispo County. We hear about a recent economic forecast for the Central Coast in 2020, and how the lack of affordable housing is proving to be a key hurdle to economic growth. And a local dance company recently debuted their fall season of ballet and contemporary dance performance. We sit does with the artistic directors to find out about their inspiration and what audiences can look forward to in the new year.

Tyler Pratt was a reporter, host and producer at KCBX from 2018 to 2020. You could hear him on weekdays filing news reports and hosting afternoon programming. Tyler hails from the deserts of West Texas but likes to call the the swamps of Louisiana home. He fell in love with public radio over a decade ago while studying improv comedy at the Second City in Los Angeles. He spent so much time in his car listening to KCRW while driving between auditions and various jobs that he eventually became inspired to switch careers from acting to radio journalism.
