Episode 6: Orange County Politics Featuring Jodi Balma

Fullerton: Then & Now by Jesse La Tour

Episode notes

For this episode, I sat down with Jodi Balma, professor of political science at Fullerton College and host of the podcast A Slice of Orange to talk about Orange County politics, past and present. We discussed factors that contributed to OC's conservative political history like the Cold War, megachurches and the prosperity gospel. We also discuss wild OC politicians past and present, how demographic and other changes affected OC's shift from red to blue to purple, the impact of Trump's attacks on higher education, and more!
