In 1991, actor Steve Martin wrote and starred in “LA Story,” a satirical romantic comedy in which a wacky weatherman tries to win the heart of an English newspaper reporter struggling to make sense of early 1990s Los Angeles. Thirty years later, we speak with Martin about whether the LA stereotypes that made the film so hilarious still hold up. The global supply chain and American overconsumption has got many people reevaluating their holiday gift purchases. How about giving a local experience like bungee jumping or improv classes, instead of more … stuff? And the winner of the LA Award in the 2021 KCRW Radio Race tells the story of a coyote in Woodland Hills that got too close for comfort.
