Last May, the Palisades fire ripped through the Santa Monica Mountains. About 1,000 people were put under mandatory evacuation orders, and about 500 homes were threatened by the flames. As that emergency was unfolding, the guy in charge of the Los Angeles Fire Department’s operations center overseeing the fire was allegedly intoxicated. That’s according to an investigation commissioned by city officials.
Today, we talk about what came next.

Today, I’m excited to share with you a preview from a new podcast I’ve been enjoying and think you will, too.
You may know Jacob Goldstein as the former host of the Planet Money podcast. Now, he’s hosting a new show called What’s Your Problem? It’s a show about technology and business, where visionaries talk about the future they’re trying to build – and the problems they have to solve to get there. You’ll get to know the people who are trying to figure out how to do things no one on the planet knows how to do.
And, like Code Story, you’ll learn about the critical moments it takes to change an industry.
In this preview, Jacob talks with Keenan Wyrobek, the co-founder of a drone company called Zipline. The company has been building and deploying drones in Rwanda and Ghana for years. Now they're trying to solve a surprisingly hard problem: How do they make drone delivery work in the United States? I hope you enjoy it. You can hear Keenan’s full story, and more episodes of What’s Your Problem?, wherever you get your podcasts.
