Megan Tan

Navigating adulthood one question at a time. Hosted by Megan Tan.

Millennial

When Megan moved to Los Angeles in 2019, she thought she would fall in love with her job, not the city where her job brought her. 

If you’re wondering how you can help Los Angeles move toward recovery after the wildfires, you can donate to:

California Community Foundation's Wildfire Recovery Fund

American Red Cross

Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation

If you'd rather donate to a specific individual or family, GoFundMe has set up a dedicated page where you can donate to SoCal fire victims, first responders, and others through their individual fundraising accounts.

Los Angeles: An Unexpected Love

Back in 2021, LA-born TV and podcast writer, director, and producer Erick Galindo and I worked together making podcasts and coming up with different ideas. We made pitches and pilots — some of them saw the light of day, others did not. Today, I’m sharing an idea for a show that was never published. “Close to the Sun” a show about real places and people in a magical city told in a magical way. Narrated by Erick Galindo.
