Cirroc Lofton played Jake Sisko on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Even though he was a massive part of Star Trek, he never actually watched anything from the franchise for himself. He’ll tell us how his podcast, The 7th Rule, is finally fixing that.

Betsy Brandt is best known as Marie on Breaking Bad, a role she reprised in the final episode of the series' successor Better Call Saul. She'll tell us why she was so dedicated to keeping her return a secret. Plus, why she wasn't optimistic about Breaking Bad being a success.

Cirroc - Kobe Bryant-era Lakers championships

Betsy - the plays of Anton Chekhov

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.

We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.

Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
