Step inside Hollywood’s hidden history with The Bombshell Effect, a storytelling podcast hosted by culture-obsessed writer Kate de los Santos. Each episode traces how one small moment –or one sticky booth in a dimly-lit dive bar– sparked a ripple effect that changed movies, music, pop culture, and the city of Los Angeles itself…

Equal parts history, gossip, and cultural critique, The Bombshell Effect is your time machine into LA’s most legendary (and infamous) places. If you love You Must Remember This, Hollywood Babylon, Hollywood Plays Itself, or simply the strange magic of Los Angeles, this podcast is for you.
