Aron Bender talks with Leah Uko. The Southern California native was raised in Palmdale and Chatsworth, dodged figurative gang and drug bullets, went to UC Riverside, paid her dues in Texas, Nebraska, Arkansas and Georgia, before landing a gig at Fox 11 KTTV in Los Angeles. It's been a rollercoaster! In this episode, Leah explains how getting fired from two jobs didn't break her but helped build her, the moment she decided to wear her hair natural on the air, and why she's in a 12-step program for food addiction.

Aron Bender talks with LA Times features writer Gustavo Arellano, who's Orange County through and through. The former publisher of OC Weekly is best known for his ¡Ask a Mexican! column and book, and also wrote Taco USA. All that said, my favorite part of the interview is when I left him speechless! Gustavo is many things ... speechless isn't one of them!

The Calabasas native is in Big Brothers Big Sisters, she's helping get supplies to Haiti, and when she's not in Antarctica or interviewing the Dalai Lama, she's diving with sharks!

Aron Bender talks with Telemundo 52 Los Angeles anchor Dunia Elvir. By the time she was 5 in Honduras, she knew she wanted to be on the radio. By age 11 she was on the air. Her dream was almost derailed when, at 15, she was sent to live with grandma in Los Angeles. But as she was pushing a broom, her calling would sweep her all the way to Telemundo.
