Drew Carey is no stranger to the world of game shows. In 2007 he became Bob Barkers’ successor as host of The Price is Right. He’ll tell us the special advice Bob gave him when he took over, and explain why he doesn't expect to match the 50-year tenure of his predecessor.

Yesika Salgado is a poet and activist, whose work has been featured in many publications. She also has a strong presence on social media. She'll explain why she refers to her fans as "mangos" instead of "followers." Plus, she'll tell us about the secret science (and lack thereof) behind slam poetry.


Drew - Garage rock

Yesika - 'Dirty Dancing'

Tune in to LAist 89.3 or the LAist app every week on Saturdays at 10 AM and 5 PM and Sundays at 8 PM, come to a live taping , listen to past episodes of Go Fact Yourself at gofactyourpod.com, and come back here each week to Go Fact Yourself with our weekly listener trivia challenge.

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.
