The “Scream” movies are on a 30-year cinematic run and have become one of the slasher

genre’s most recognizable franchises. KHOL film critic Jeff Counts just saw No. 7, out now in

theaters, and gives us his report on the state of the series.

From the quiet hills of Topanga Canyon to the bustling streets of Mexico City, the music of Friends Of seeks to bridge the gap between the honest simplicity of country music and the effervescent ethos of disco. Zeke Reed set out to become a neuroscientist, but quickly realized his true calling was to uplift voices of his community. As a reporter at KCRW in Los Angeles, he finds a fulfillment in journalism that allows him to engage with his diverse interests. Reed came by KHOL while on vacation to discuss his songwriting process, the universal appeals of disco and country, and the critical need for public radio.
