This week on Making Los Angeles:
🎙️ Larry Mantle, the voice behind 40+ years of AirTalk on @KPCC.

He’s talked with everyone in LA — but this time, he’s the one telling the stories: seminary dreams, newsroom flops, unforgettable guests, and more.

“I was the palate cleanser between the trauma and the sports.” New episode out now. A true LA institution. https://t.co/ILolRJuHNZ

The Rams were the first pro sports team in LA. Then they left. Then they came back. Now they’re worth $10B.
And Sofi got built. How did that happen? Meet the guy who knows: Kevin Demoff.
He tells it all on Making Los Angeles.

Week 5 of Making Los Angeles: the city’s “earthquake queen”, renowned seismologist Lucy Jones.

From graduating high school in Taiwan to reshaping how LA thinks about disaster risk, Lucy is a science nerd who’s one hell of a conversationalist. 🌎⚡

Can’t believe I got to interview Michael Connelly — 40+ novels, Bosch, The Lincoln Lawyer — at Musso & Frank’s over martinis.

There’s nothing more depressing than an empty restaurant with a lively soundtrack. That’s it. That’s the tweet.

Any political junkies know when the next ballot drop from @LACountyRRCC is supposed to be?

[Glenn Gritzner @ggritzner]

@mottsmith @USCPrice I’m late to this but I love this thread and Tom is amazing. Anybody interested in his story, including how wanting to work at the same plant store as a girl he liked is what started it all, might enjoy this: https://t.co/FCQad7rksX

As a proud Boardmember of @CityYearLA, I know firsthand how critical this funding is, and how much good it does for so many students. And bravo to my fellow Boardmember and friend @PedroANoguera for lending your voice to this important cause.

[Glenn Gritzner @ggritzner]

I don’t know - Twitter or X or whatever this is, is now entirely political or sponsored content or faux outrage or I don’t know what … but tonight, I just wanted to send thoughts and prayers to @DuboffJess. That is all. #Dodgers

[Glenn Gritzner @ggritzner]

Really proud of my client @letsunitela for a great 25th anniversary event today, and @LAUSDSup did an excellent job, as he always does, elevating the value of collaboration and partnership to serve the needs of all students.

[Alberto M. Carvalho @LAUSDSup]

Thank you @letsunitela, @LACity and @LACCD for being long-time partners supporting the success of students. Together we can amplify our impact on student outcomes via programs like career tech education, workforce partnerships and advocating for digital equity.
