    Tonight we had the fun privilege of participating in a live taping of Go Fact Yourself with standup…read morecomedian Jordan Carlos and actor/comedian Erinn Hayes at the Crawford Family Forum which is now the headquarters of KPCC 89.3, rebranded now as LAist. Parking is small on site so come early if you want to park there. Tickets were $20 for the privilege of choosing your seats first. The forum has a small auditorium with maybe 10 rows of seats so no matter where you are, you'll be able to see the stage well. The evening was full of laughter because not only the guests but the hosts, J.Keith van Straaten and Helen Hong, were all so quick witted and hilarious! It's basically a competition between the two main guests to answer trivia questions in an area of interest, which tonight was market bubbles for Jordan and the movie "Romancing the Stone" (1984) for Erinn. We also had special expert guests to corroborate their respective answers for more complex questions. For the market bubble, we had Anne Goldgar, USC history professor and author of Tulipmania. And for "Romancing the Stone" (RTS), we had via Zoom, the inimitable Kathleen Turner!!! Incredible! She is going to voice the donkey in the upcoming animated film of Animal Farm. It was incredible to hear her talk about her experience on the set of RTS--so poised and seriously funny in her own right! What a thrill! Loved every moment! So glad we attended!

    I have listened to this station since my college days. Most of my morning commutes involve Larry…read moreMantle and Austin Cross providing the insight I need for the day. And then there's Terry Gross, Kai Ryssdal, Scott Simon, Francis Lam, Peter Segall, Ira Flatow, Shankar Vedantam...and others throughout the week. Between their shows, announcements for live events would grab my attention, but then I'd forget. Recently, I made it an effort to remind myself. The first event I went to was for Go Fact Yourself with J. Keith van Straaten and Helen Hong and guests Michaela Watkins and Marc Summers. I've heard a few episodes on the weekends before and felt the jokes were hit or miss. However, the live taping turned out engaging and memorable. I used to watch Marc Summers on reruns of What Would You Do? and Double Dare, so seeing him in person got me nostalgic. In my opinion, his comedic timing rivals the best, particularly when Sam Harris appeared and the two recounted their days on Star Search. The second event was for The Memory Palace with Nate DiMeo who recently published his first book. The event acted as both a teaser as well as a live recital of previous episodes. I hadn't heard of his podcast before, but the short stories that were shared, such as one about Mary Pickford's dazzling roles during the age of silent film and another describing Florence Chadwick swimming across the English Channel several times, won me over. Each one of them tickling the brain as much as providing the slightest feeling of wistfulness. On a final note, the parking lot is cramp, so I parked on the street. Looking forward to future events!

    I just participated in a 15 days European tour hosted by GRAND CENTURY CRUISES and met an awful…read morewoman whose last name is Chen, and she claimed she manage the "travel Channel" at AM 1300 and that she had the free trip offered from AM1300. I was living with her in the same room for 2 days and was shocked by her frightening behavior. I'm surprised that AM1300 has such low quality employee. 1st, she collected all the stuff everyday the hotel cleaning lady put in the room as if she was fleeing from poor African. those things like small coffee bags, tea bags, sugar bags are for the convenience of the hotel guest who really needs them. It's useless as the hotel offers free breakfast with everything. I never took them and I think the person who collects those useless stuff either has been living a poor life or just wants to take advantage of the free stuff. Finally one day the hotel cleaning lady put back all her collected stuff and I felt so awkward as an American. 2nd, she carried over from USA a big case of instant noodles and a cooker for lunch and dinner in order to save money, and always made a mess on the floor and trash bin when you finished it. Hotel offers free cleaning which doesn't mean that you can make the room dirty as much as you like, it shows her bad quality as she didn't respect the labor from the others. 3rd, which is the most abominable is that she didn't have the basic respect and courtesy as a human being. When we took the picture at PEACH COURT at The Hague, she pushed through the person who was taking the picture for me harshly and took her own video in front of that person. When I questioned her for her terrible behavior, she abused some ugly words which were totally out of our surprise! Later on for the trip, I tried to escape from her as I didn't want to disgrace and fight with her in European public. Her dreadful behaviors not only humiliated AM1300, but brought shame on our American in Europe. I strongly suggest that the management at AM1300 can educate her not to bring dishonor to AM1300 and America and alert her of the bad consequences of doing whatever she wants.

    Too many commercials, people busy trying to take my money, not like American stations, friendly,…read moresincere, service oriented.
