As Southern California faces blistering heat, we're joined by Los Angeles Chief Heat Officer Marta Segura, who is one of just three in the country. Segura opens up about how her parents' struggle with heat-related illness informed her approach to this new and critical role, and she shares her vision for the job.
Plus, LA County Supervisor Kathryn Barger on why we cannot let ourselves think this week was just a weird, warm fluke.
Southern Californians may be short on time, but they are never short on curiosity. Every Friday, Spectrum News 1 political reporter and anchor Alex Cohen gives listeners the important local news and information SoCal needs to know in one fell swoop.
In just about 17 minutes, listeners will get informed on the issues affecting Southern California. Featuring occasional interviews with SoCal newsmakers, “SoCal in 17” is the definitive weekly podcast for those living in and around Los Angeles.
