Pretty in pasadena podcast

This is the Pretty in Pasadena Podcast! Co-hosted by best friends, Mackenzie Reed Mize and Michelle Maestas Simonsen, produced by Simonsen Sounds. Join these two BFFs for conversations, laughs, and adventures in the crown city and the nearby communities. There are interviews of amazing and inspiring local people and a lot of love for the history, culture and happenings in this lovely destination city they call home. After all, "Pasadena is more than just another pretty place."

This Podcast is on hiatus due to change of artistic leadership and the pandemic as many interviews were conducted related to live events and in person activities. The podcast was on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, and Sound Cloud.
