I’ll be on KPFK’s Deadline LA today along with the LA Times’ Joel Rubin talking about the three finalists for LA’s Chief of Police—and who was NOT on the final list (cough–a woman or a minority candidate—cough, cough) and speculating why those names didn’t appear.

Host Howard Blume, as always, made being interviewed an easy and delightful task. (As does his co-host on the show, Barbara Osborn, who was absent today when we taped.)

The show will air from 3:30 to 4 pm Friday (today) on KPFK 90.7 FM

(The show gets archived here for later download.)

PS: While we’re on the subject of choosing the C.O.P.—Read Jan Perry’s thoughtful OpEd in the Daily News about what she wants from the next Chief.

I’m going to be on Deadline LA again (KPFK 90.7 FM) on Saturday at noon, along with the always fabulous Connie Rice, the very smart LA Times editorial writer, Rob Greene, and the show’s excellent hosts, Barbara Osborn and Howard Blume

We’ll be talking about gang policy in LA.
