Not a hotel, not a dorm, not quite a hostel, open by design and communitarian in spirit  — Los Angeles-based PodShare is something else. And, potentially, something bigger: An affordable way to foster community in a city that’s increasingly stratified by class. This week, to start Season 3, it’s the story of one young entrepreneur and her unstoppable enthusiasm for her big idea.

Music:

• “Happy Wanderer” by Louis Prima
• “Hey Bellboy” by Gloria Wood
• “On A Wing” by Podington Bear
• “Twinkle Toes” by Podington Bear
