October 15, 2026: Our next guest to come in this political season is Alexandra “Xy” VanAntwerp, a fourth generation Carpinterian and member of the Carpinteria Planning Commission. She has been endorsed by retiring City Councilman Al Clark to take his seat. Still, she has to convince the voters she’s ready for job, so she’s going to sit behind our mics and talk about her vision for Carpinteria. This Thursday, live at 12noon PT on Bryan’s Radio Lunch Truck, on your very own CarpinteriaValleyRadio.com. We promise an engaging, lively show with great music. Don’t miss it!
TOM BLANCHARD, HOLLYWOOD DETECTIVE
