Marmots + Car Prices Rising + Venice Clean Up + Lifeguards

from Monks & Merrill

It's Saturday! Daniel Blumstein, UCLA professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, joins the show to discuss why some California researchers are turning to OnlyFans and other unconventional platforms as traditional research funding dries up. KFI’s Mark Rahner joins Michael Monks and Chris Merrill to break down the skyrocketing cost of vehicles — with new cars nearing $50,000 and used cars climbing above $27,000. Venice wants Ghost Town Consultants to handle the homeless encampments and Monks and Merrill are breaking it down. AND we talk to Gisele Halualani, President of Malibu coast surf lifesaving association and CA state park ocean lifeguard about passing SCR 192. PLUS what is expected from Metro regarding LA28 on KFIAM-640. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
