In this first-of-its-kind collaboration with Little Saigon TV, OC World has produced a public affairs program for KLCS-PBS about Ted Nguyen and his family, and their journey from Saigon to Orange County – thanks, in large part, to the efforts of their “sponsor” family of Lt. Col. James E. Behnke.
OC World was nominated for its program “The Power and Awe of Music” in the category of Soft News Feature, Music/Arts/Culture — Over 5 Minutes; “Surviving the Trauma of Relationship Violence” in the category of Documentary or Special Program, Short (Under 30 Minutes).

OC World recently sponsored an event with OC Forum that brought together a group of diverse journalists to discuss the ever-changing media landscape of Orange County: Gustavo Arellano – reporter / columnist, Los Angeles Times; Ashley Alvarado – Vice President community engagement, LAist; Rick Reiff – editor-at-large, OC Business Journal; and Todd Harmonson – editor, Orange County Register. If indeed Orange County is one of the largest “news deserts” in the country, how do publishers and media companies continue to bring value back to their readers, viewers, and listeners? In this program, OC World also interviewed two members of the media community – Steve Churm, founding publisher of the now defunct OC Metro Magazine, and Richard Reisman, publisher of the Orange County Business Journal.
OC World guest host Gaddi Vasquez dives into a new poll conducted by UCI's School of Social Ecology that suggests the next Congress could well hinge on how Orange County residents vote, and in particular Latino/Hispanic and Asian voters.
OC Developer Mike Harrah – Raw and Unplugged, An exclusive two-part interview like you’ve never seen him before. Mike Harrah is definitely not your typical developer. Along with building what ultimately will become the tallest building in Orange County, he also is a stunt pilot for Hollywood, car collector, competitive racer, and the designer of a $7 million truck called Thor. He recently was honored with the “Entrepreneur of the Year “award by Orange County Business Journal, where he was introduced as a “visionary in transforming the Orange County skyline” and as a “leading Orange County philanthropist.”
Upcoming Show The Power and Awe of Music. “Playing for Change” was a viral video that roughly 20 years ago had a great message about the power and awe of music and philanthropy. It has been viewed more than 200 million times and it started with the great Ben E. King classic song "Stand by Me," and it featured musicians from around the world. OC World had the opportunity to interview two visionaries who continue to raise funds to support music and arts programs in schools both locally and globally... Alec Glasser, owner of the Drake Restaurant in Laguna Beach and founder of The Drake Gives, and Jake Groshong, CEO for the “Playing for Change” Foundation.
OC World is delighted to welcome Keith Swayne, Dr. Jeannie G. Kim, Stephen O'Leary, Andy Horowitz, and Marshall Kaplan to its Advisory Committee.
Five years ago, Will and Cary Singleton created the Singleton Foundation for Financial Literacy and Entrepreneurship – a digital platform with accessible financial tools and learning resources to guide Americans toward financial independence, primarily through gaming, apps, and online video programming. The Foundation’s content has received more than 200 million views. The digital projects, apps, and games curated by the Singleton Foundation include Million Stories, Slyngshot, Venture Valley, Faceplant, and others. Additionally, the narrative of the American automobile mirrors the Singleton Foundation's innovation, serving as a poignant testament to the intertwining threads that weave their philanthropic and entrepreneurial pursuits. The American automobile, a sprawling narrative, evolved, leading the Singleton Collection to discern specific parameters for its curation: innovation, historical significance, the progression of automotive design, originality, and provenance.
