Listen to the last episode:

Today on AirTalk, we'll dig into a new audit of the L.A. County Homeless Services Agency that found misuse and poor tracking of taxpayer money. We'll also continue our weeklong series about what the incoming Trump administration's federal agenda might mean for California with a look at water policy. With holiday gift-giving season on the horizon, listeners share how they handle the tricky politics of gift-giving. Also, Comcast announced this morning that they will spin off CNBC, MSNBC and other cable channels — we'll find out why. We'll also hear some tips on how to get the best deals out of the complex world of travel credit cards and frequent flier programs. And actor Tim Matheson joins us to talk about his new memoir Damn Glad To Meet You and reminisce on his seven decades acting in Hollywood.
