    Welcome to Isla Vista: Political IV
    Jan 29 2026

    One night in 1970, a fire broke out at the Bank of America. No one yet knows who set it. But it brought both police brutality and political engagement to Isla Vista. Why does I.V. have such a vast network of parks? Why isn’t I.V. a city? And decades later how did tragedy bolster support for the Community Services District, according to its founders?

    Note: This episode contains discussion of a bomb incident (4:40 - 5:00) police brutality (5:54 - 8:20), rioting (5:54 - 8:20, 23:44 - 24:00), and mass murder (24:20 - 26:13). If you do not want to hear these parts, skip them.

    Welcome to Isla Vista: Student Stories, 1954 - 2016
    Jan 15 2026

     In 1954, Santa Barbara College students traded “the campus with a view” for the “campus in the slough.” Developers built more than 4,000 structures in 10 years, receiving variances and helping pass zoning codes to increase density. What was it like to live there? Student stories start in 1954 and finish in 2016, as that housing stock ages.
