Smogland Radio: Jamel and Daisy

Most Sunday nights, Jamel will make a nice meal for himself and Daisy, and they’ll sit down to watch the football together.

 

Daisy is his best friend – a 14-year-old beagle.

 

Right now, Jamel and Daisy are living in a semi-converted garage. Jamel's looking for a better and more stable place to live – but he’s been turned away from housing because he refuses to be separated from Daisy. 

 

Over the last few months, Jamel has been keeping an audio diary for LA Public Press, to give us a sense of what day-to-day life is like for him and Daisy. Reporter Clare Wiley collaborated with Jamel to bring us this snapshot of his life with Daisy.

 

Plus, a first preview of what we've been working on: one investigation told over four episodes. Our first mini-season, out this summer!
