We hustled our podcasting tools into the elevator and up to the seventh floor. We were given access to the generous corner office to set up the gear and wait for the big event.

Mayor Loveridge has been in Riverside California city government for 30 years.

Needless to say we were pretty stoked to have landed a chat with the Mayor. It was only 11 shows ago we first introduced ourselves to the local podcastosphere…and here we were with the cheap mics and the Macbook in the cool climes of city government. Mayor Loveridge made a hurried entrance and looked somewhat amused to see that we had taken over half of his conference table with mixers and cables. All in all he kept us entertained the entire time, covering topics ranging from his early Riverside experiences to his political influences with a healthy dose of local history – and offering a measured and rational assessment of the challenges that come when a town grows into a city.

We wish to extend our thanks and appreciation to Mayor Ron Loveridge and his staff for their time and courteous consideration. Enjoy the show!

Mary Shelton's blog, "Five Before Midnight," takes a critical look at Riverside city government.

Mary Shelton's blog, 'Five Before Midnight,'
takes a close look at Riverside city government and law enforcement.

The mission statement is the first thing you read: “This site is dedicated to the continuous oversight of the Riverside(CA)Police Department, which was formerly overseen by the state attorney general. This blog will hopefully play that role being free of City Hall’s micromanagement.” What follows is a concise and literate record of what is happening in Riverside city matters – a far more complete record than what is offered by traditional Riverside media. In addition to Riverside news, you’ll also find noteworthy local government and law enforcement news from other regions in the state and nation.

If you’re interested in what’s going on behind the stories you’re reading in the local traditional media, you don’t want to miss this show.
