EJ from 102.7 KISS FM joins Mark Thompson for a nostalgic flex story about retired anchor John Beard and memories from iHeart’s old sound studio. Mark dives back into listener Talkbacks, revisits Michael Monks’ powerful “LA Fires: One Year Later” encore, covers a bear removed after months living beneath an Altadena home, and wraps it all up with a crossover chat with George Noory.
