Episode Details

 Where were you in 1988? We kick things off with a fun throwback and a look at some of the greatest sports moments of that era — nostalgia, legendary plays, and why certain years just hit different. 

Then we dive into Los Angeles politics and housing as reporter Michael Monks breaks down why the L.A. City Council hit pause on voting for proposed reforms to the city’s controversial mansion tax. Supporters say it’s necessary, critics say it’s backfiring — and new economic studies suggest it may be slowing housing development during one of the worst housing shortages in L.A. history. 

Next, a serious aviation warning: the NTSB says Burbank Airport could be the site of a future mid-air collision if changes aren’t made. What’s causing the concern, and what it could mean for air travel in Southern California. 

And finally, a lighter note — moving to Canada and a great Wayne Gretzky story involving trophies, humility, and why even the greatest of all time has moments that make you smile. 

A little history, a little policy, a little safety, and a legendary sports story to close it out — all in one episode.
