Hannah Fry, a breaking news reporter for the Los Angeles Times, was recognized in 2020 as part of a Pulitzer finalist team. Their commendation stemmed from their comprehensive coverage of a tragic boat fire off the Santa Barbara coast, which resulted in the deaths of 34 individuals. Before joining The Times, Fry honed her skills at the Daily Pilot, where her reporting focused on coastal communities, educational matters, and criminal justice. An Orange County native, Fry began her journalistic journey as an intern at the Orange County Register.
In a separate segment, the discussion turns to “Saved By A Story,” a unique writing workshop established by Kathy Katims, a survivor of the Palisades fire. These monthly gatherings provide a communal space for individuals who lived through the Palisades and Eaton fires to engage in writing, reflection, and sharing their personal experiences.
The program also delves into a significant event of the 1960s: the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. Despite the assailant being apprehended at the scene, confessing during trial, and even boasting about the shooting, the underlying motivations behind his actions have largely faded from public memory.
