Today on AirTalk, we're diving into a range of important topics affecting Los Angeles and beyond. First, we'll be speaking with local small business owners who have been impacted by the recent devastating wildfires. We'll hear about their experiences, the challenges they're facing, and what the future holds for their businesses. To guide survivors of the Eaton and Palisades Fires through the process, we'll also have fire restoration experts on hand to answer your questions.
Moving on, we'll explore the fascinating world of pop culture and its influence on our relationships. Manuel Betancourt's new book, 'Hello Stranger,' delves into this very question, using his own experiences as a gay man to examine the complexities of intimacy and desire. We'll discuss the book's insights and how pop culture, from films to musicals, shapes our perceptions of love and romance.There's also a critical conversation to be had about the future of gender-affirming care in Los Angeles. Following Children's Hospital Los Angeles' recent announcement to pause hormonal therapy for patients under 19 in light of President Trump's executive order, we'll be discussing the implications of this decision and the broader challenges facing transgender individuals in accessing healthcare. Finally, we'll take a journey through the iconic filming locations of Hollywood with a special look at the new digital short series 'LOCATIONLAND' from PBS SoCal. Hosted by 'locationologist' Harry Medved, the series takes viewers behind the scenes of classic films, highlighting hidden gems and revealing the stories behind the scenes. We'll also be offering guidance on navigating the overwhelming world of television with our weekly recommendations for must-see shows
