What happens now that City Council has approved a new anti-homeless ordinance? How is wage theft impacting grocery workers in Los Angeles? Why was a community group's bid to purchase the Crenshaw mall ignored? Why did the Banditos gang in the Sheriff's Department host an inking party? Scott is joined by Cerise Castle and Rachel Reyes to discuss the latest news from LA.

Samanta Helou Hernandez joins Scott and Matt to talk about the ongoing pandemic, continuing coverage of the LAPD's bomb in South Central and the sewage spill in the Santa Monica Bay. Then, Scott shares his experience at the trial of Ed Buck.

Rachel Reyes joins Matt and Scott to talk LA's reinstated mask mandate, police brutality and right wing violence at Wi Spa, a sewage spill in Santa Monica Bay, racism in the foster care system and Food 4 Less workers bargaining a new contract.

Eric Garcetti answers the call, Wi Spa becomes international news, Los Angeles’ buildings are as vulnerable as South Florida’s, and a dive into how the Venice housing situation got so bad.

The L.A. City Council passes a strict new anti-sleeping in public law, Metro's bus system re-think has a rocky start, LAPD sets off a bomb in a residential neighborhood, and the latest on the novel coronavirus in Los Angeles. 

Alissa and Scott sit down with reporter Lexis-Olivier Ray to talk about city-provided hand-washing stations for the unhoused.

California reopens, and Governor Newsom holds his victory-lap press conference at… Universal Studios? More details about a questionable workplace environment over at the Office of L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti, the L.A. City Council considers whether to break-up with LAHSA, and Measure J is in trouble.

Federal agents seize deposit boxes in Beverly Hills. New depositions in the harassment case against Garcetti's former aide. Another recall is announced. Joe Buscaino and Alex Villanueva roll into Venice in an attempt to lift their political fortunes.

Pour one out for Mitch Englander. A fire commissioner becomes a fired commissioner. A few bills make waves in Sacramento. Place and Thank You: The Queen Mary. And a deep dive on LA County's child migrant holding sites and the federal policies that brought them about.

It's all but certain that Mayor Garcetti is headed to India. Who's going to take his place as interim Mayor? Metro passed its budget. What are the wins and losses? Echo Park Lake is open again. What's it's like? And a new segment about things happening in other cities that could make their way to LA.
