The writer Gerald Haslam grew up at the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley and is credited with coining the phrase “The Other California” to describe the part of the state where we live. Not Los Angeles. Not San Francisco. Not the coastal California but The Other California — a unique, highly diverse region with its own stories to tell. Over the next few months we’ll be developing a podcast called The Other California that looks at the people, places and themes that make this region stand out as different from the rest of the state. To get the project underway, FM89’s News Director Alice Daniel sat down with peach farmer and writer Mas Masumoto and peach farmer and artist Nikiko Masumoto to find out what The Other California means to them.
