The Sale of the Los Angeles Dodgers
Larry Mantle talks with national baseball columnist for the Los Angeles Times Ross Newhan about the sale of the Los Angeles Dodgers to Boston Developer Frank McCourt. What will this change of ownership mean for the team, and for the city of Los Angeles? Joining the conversation also is Jamie McCourt, co-owner of the Dodgers.
Also, joining Larry to discuss the Pixar-Disney split is Charles Solomon, animation critic for amazon.com and KPCC film critic.
The Irrational Exuberance of a New York Film Critic
Larry speaks with New Yorker staff writer and film critic David Denby about his attempt in 2000-2001 to make a million dollars in the stock market. In his new book, American Sucker (Little, Brown and Company), Denby chronicles his wild financial experiment and how he lost more than money in his pursuit of the New Economy American dream.
