About this listen

 "Warm in the Bird-basin today with temperatures expected to reach 80 inland. Currently 74 in Owl-hambra, 70 at the beaches, 76 in Orange County, San Bird-nardino checkin' in at 79, and here at our studios in beautiful downtown Bird-bank, it’s a rockin' 77 degrees.”

A familiar cadence to those who were listening to the radio in Southern California during the late 1960's and early 1970's. Julia Bancroft (aka the Rockin' Raven) held down the morning slot on Los Angeles's KBRD 1130 AM for a solid eight years... a pioneer and oftentimes controversial Top 40 woman DJ at a time when such was still very much a man's world.

But Julia's career in media and other endeavors extended far beyond just her tenure on the airwaves. From her upbringing to her death at a relatively young age, from her personal life as a lesbian (coming out with her partner only a decade before her passing) to her activism in the LGBTQ+ community, from her inspiring other women in the entertainment industry to her ruffling feathers of those who tried to keep her down, the Rockin' Raven was a force to be reckoned with... and a story deserving to be told.

With strong ties to the novel Theresa & Julia (Archer's second book in the Fate, Chance, and Choices trilogy), From Owl-hambra to San Bird-nardino guides you through Bancroft's career, experiences, and relationships in this biographically-styled work as chronicled by Britt Foster and Jeri Churchill, two of Julia's former colleagues.
