Told from the lens of a fire victim trying to get his community back, The Altadena Rebuild aims to be a story of hope and resilience, giving listeners a peek at what the journey looks like once the cameras leave.

    This week, Austin is joined by Joe Nagy and Stewart Campbell of the Altadena Community Garden. The guys explain how the Garden is starting an innovative new process called mycoremediation and how they hope this approach will allow them to reopen in early 2026. Then, we discuss how homeowners can learn from what's happening at the Garden and bring it to their land -- even before starting construction.
