Today on AirTalk, the Supreme Court is set to hear arguments and take another look at flavored vape regulations due to an appeal by the FDA. As mistrust in science-backed medicine grows, we're talking about what the future of public health might look like under Robert F. Kennedy Jr. For our weekly dive into SoCal History, we'll go back in time to prehistoric L.A. by discussing the La Brea Tar Pits. Rashida Jones and Will McCormack, the creators of the LA Times short film A Swim Lesson join us for a preview alongside the star of the film— a swim instructor. And, we want to hear from listeners about some common challenges they faced while learning to swim.
