The Monocle Weekly

The Monocle Weekly heads to Los Angeles this week and discovers if plans to install high-speed rail across the state of California are on track with Richard Tolmach, President of the California Rail Foundation. Also in the studio is award-winning landscape architect Mia Lehrer, a pioneer of Los Angeles's new drive to revitalise urban areas with green space. Top DJ, Mathieu Schreyer, joins Monocle's culture editor Rob Bound to talk about the LA music scene and play some new tracks before Simon Miller of Simon Miller Jeans reveals why his denim range is a cut above the rest.
