ProPublica just released an eyebrow-raising investigation: earlier this month, at a conference in Las Vegas purporting to share the secrets to living longer, two women received peptide injections that sent them to the hospital, fighting for their lives. What regulatory oversights allowed this to happen? Co-hosts Sarah Lohman and Dayvid Figler, along with executive producer Sonja Cho Swanson, discuss the near-deadly episode, as well as the huge fire that destroyed a beloved and surprisingly beautiful strip mall near UNLV, and how Beyoncé wrapped her Cowboy Carter tour in Las Vegas with four surprise guests.

After an abrupt closure in June that left vendors scrambling to make up for lost income, Broadacres, the massive swap meet and hub of Hispanic life in North Las Vegas, has announced its official reopening on August 1st. But what does this mean — and will it ever be the same again? Co-host Dayvid Figler talks with artist Justin Favela and Nevada Current reporter Jeniffer Solis, both born and raised Las Vegans who grew up going to Broadacres, about what the reopening means, and how the fear of ICE raids and immigration enforcement continues to impact everyday life for a huge swath of our city.

Las Vegans love to complain about the heat (duh), the traffic, and … Californians. Californians moving to Vegas have nearly twice the income of Nevadans moving within the state — with locals bearing the brunt of our affordable housing crisis, it's easy to feel resentful. But should we? Co-hosts Dayvid Figler and Sarah Lohman, along with Nevada Current journalist Michael MJ Lyle and poet Vogue Robinson have a lively conversation about the contours of our frustration with Cali transplants and how much of it is actually fair.

But how will this impact noise pollution? Co-hosts Dayvid Figler and Sarah Lohman are joined by Nevada Current deputy editor April Corbin Girnus to tackle this and the rest of the week's news: Why the DOJ is demanding Nevada's voter rolls (and the implications of this political theater), as well as the Aviators latest (temporary) rebrand as — drumroll, please — the Cone Jesters!

After nearly two decades, Town Square is shaking off the dust with a wave of new restaurants, even as longtime local favorites like Blue Martini and Stoney’s pack up and move on. So what’s really going on at the popular shopping center just south of the Strip? Has it quietly become more of a tourist stop than a local hangout? We revisit a conversation with Hey Las Vegas newsletter editor Rob Kachelriess and co-host Dayvid Figler as they break down what’s new at Town Square, which old favorites are still hanging on, and what it all means for the shopping center’s future.

The tally is in: Governor Lombardo has officially broken the veto record again — striking down the most bills out of any executive in Nevada state history. Vetoes are a check on the legislative branch, but at this extreme, do we need a check on the check? What does Lombardo get out of all those vetoes, and what happens with all this killed legislation now? Co-host Dayvid Figler talks with Battle Born Progress press secretary Jacob Solis to discuss all the implications of the vetoes on Las Vegans.
