Hosts Julie Slater & Jason Friday chat with Nick Roman - the KING OF NEWS. Since 2013, Nick has been the local host of NPR’s “All Things Considered” on LA public radio station KPCC ... he joined KPCC in 2004 as managing editor of what was an already talented six-reporter staff ... today – the news staff is about five times bigger ... he’s proud of that! Nick started in public radio in 1980 at KSBR in Mission Viejo – first as a freelance reporter and later the host of “All Things Considered” ... when that station collapsed in 1984 – he moved to KLON (now KKJZ) in Long Beach as the host of “All Things Considered” (notice a pattern?) He spent 19 years at KLON/KKJZ – and began teaching in the Cal State Long Beach in 1992 ... he still teaches there. Nick is also a BIG baseball fan – especially the Dodgers! He and his wife Mary have been together since 1981 ... married in 1985 ... daughters Mary Claire and Grace ... they’re ALL big Dodger fans! 

He's on Instagram @romanontheradio.  We find out if Nick ever gets nervous on-air, what he missed during the Dodgers World Series in 1988, if he ever gets mad, what does his DJing skill have to do with pot, his favorite food item in Southern California, his favorite band, and what's next for him.

Hosts Julie Slater and Jason Friday dip into the true crime genre with real crime going on outside their door in Los Angeles. 

Somehow crime circles back to dharma - where we ponder the poisonous effects of comparison, looking deep into yourself to notice things about yourself that you didn't see before, dipping your toes into an interest just to see if it sticks, and how crime apps save the world. Also, how it's best to very specific when manifesting (Julie's looking for a home in Lake Arrowhead, CA), and some deep questions to ask yourself - like: what would you do if you only had six months to live?
