In this Sunday edition: Overdose deaths are rising dramatically in L.A. County. Almost 1300% in the last several years. And Fentanyl is a major culprit. L.A.'s Public Health Department, along with LAUSD, LAPD and the DA's office have started strategizing on how to deal with this crisis. But, there are groups out there who've been practicing harm reduction for years: distributing narcan or fentanyl test-strips, and teaching classes.
In a recent episode of How To L.A., we took a personal look at L.A.'s fentanyl crisis, and some of the solutions that are currently saving lives.
If you or someone you know experiences an overdose, call 9-1-1 immediately.

In this Sunday edition: The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department did something unusual last month. It launched a criminal investigation into L.A. County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl, and others, and got a warrant to search her house. It was unusual because the LASD does not typically investigate other county agencies. California's Attorney General has since taken that investigation over but the actions by the LASD raised some alarms, especially since Sheriff Alex Villanueva is running for re-election in November. It's all sorts of complicated but HTLA host Brian De Los Santos gets into it with this explainer on law enforcement in L.A.

In this Sunday Edition: Current and former medical staff at LA County jails describe a working environment that’s dysfunctional, abusive and detrimental to providing health care. One county physician describes it as a daily “human rights disaster.” And much of the criticism is leveled at Chief Medical Officer Dr. Sean Henderson. This week, criminal justice reporter Robert Garrova talked about the KPCC investigation with All Things Considered host Nick Roman.
Then: The L.A. County Office of Diversion and Reentry houses thousands of people with mental health challenges who otherwise would be incarcerated. The program is widely heralded as a success.

The question now is: will the county consider putting up more money for it? Criminal justice reporter Emily Elena Dugdale sought to find some answers.

In this weekend edition: After finishing in second place last season with 106 wins, the Dodgers are favorites to win the NL West this year. They’re hoping for a repeat of 2020’s storybook (if you don’t count the pandemic) season that ended with a World Series win, the team’s first in more than 30 years. But baseball writer Pedro Moura argues in his new book that the combination of moves and events that led to the Dodgers’ victory in 2020, is contributing to the deterioration of the game as a whole. This week on on AirTalk, FOX Sports national baseball writer Pedro Moura joined Larry Mantle to discuss his new book, “How to Beat a Broken Game: The Rise of the Dodgers in a League on the Brink.”

In this Sunday edition: Russian forces kept up their assault on Ukraine on Monday, firing on suburbs around the capital of Kyiv and attacking other cities, even as the two countries held another round of diplomatic talks, which ended without a breakthrough. The fighting, now in its third week, is taking a toll on Ukraine’s civilian population, killing thousands and forcing over 2 million people to flee the country. As Putin continues his relentless campaign to seize Ukraine, the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Hague is closely monitoring the invasion and preparing to prosecute war crimes and crimes against humanity, if and when it comes to that. While there is mounting evidence pointing to Russia’s attack on Ukraine as a “crime of aggression,” which has been recognized as a war crime since 2018, ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan says the court does not have jurisdiction over that crime in Russia or Ukraine as neither country is among the court’s 123 member states. The only way the court could get jurisdiction over the crime of aggression is if the United Nations Security Council calls on the ICC to investigate. But, Khan says, other war crimes carried out in Ukraine may still be under the court’s jurisdiction.
This week on AirTalk, Larry Mantle spoke with the director of the War Crimes Research Office at American University’s Washington College of Law, Susana SáCouto.
Then: Some LA residents have loved ones in both Russia and Ukraine.

In this weekend edition: Trying to make and maintain friendships as an adult can be hard; trying to do it during a global pandemic is a whole other feat. The past two years have disrupted our lives in many ways, including our close friendships. Between lockdowns, canceled events, and social distancing, many of us found ourselves physically apart from our closest friends when we needed them most. Some of us gradually drifted away from friends we had once been close to, while other friends became lifelines of support during times of grief and loss. Friendship experts see the pandemic as a time that has tested our closest bonds, reminding us that it’s normal for friendships to end. They also emphasize the importance of being seen by a close few, not just for our self-esteem but also for our mental wellbeing. Like a good diet or regular exercise routine, studies show that a healthy friendship can reduce levels of stress and even boost our cognitive health. As the restrictions of the pandemic lift and we begin to attend public events and re-enter social spaces, how do we go about building new friendships? And for the pre-pandemic friendships we already have, how do we strengthen their bond?
This week on AirTalk, guest host Kyle Stokes spoke with a leading expert on friendships and author of the book “Frientimacy – How to Deepen Friendships for Lifelong Health and Happiness,” Shasta Nelson about how the pandemic tested our friendships and some ways we can restore them.

But they are also working to engage and inspire a new generation of Black archeologists through their work, in a field that is overwhelmingly white.

In this Sunday edition: Last year, 294 people were killed in car crashes in Los Angeles, according to preliminary data provided by the Los Angeles Police Department. That’s a 22% increase in traffic deaths from 2020. By comparison, there were 379 homicides reported last year in the city of L.A. In addition to traffic deaths, 1,479 people were severely injured in crashes — 30% more than in 2020. That averages out to roughly four people injured every day. Los Angeles has a goal – Vision Zero – to eliminate traffic deaths in the city by 2025. But since Vision Zero was launched in 2015, traffic deaths have jumped 58%. What can be done to bring these numbers down and make Los Angeles streets safer for drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists?
In this episode, AirTalk's Larry Mantle discusses the increase in traffic deaths and what can be done to bring that number down with reporter Ryan Fonseca who covers transportation and mobility for LAist, and John Yi, executive director of the local pedestrian advocacy group Los Angeles Walks.
