Josh McDermitt, star of AMC's The Walking Dead, says that the thing that keeps him UN-undead is watching and re-watching his favorite clip of the LA Dodgers' Kirk Gibson and his walk-off home run in the 1988 World Series.

Stand-up comic Sierra Katow just released her first streaming comedy special, Funt. She's also a voice actor, and it seems like she might have been inspired by her favorite season of her favorite animated show, Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Josh - Kirk Gibson's 1988 World Series game-winning home run

Sierra - Season 3 of 'Avatar: The Last Airbender'

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.

Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.

We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.

No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.

Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.

Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
