Triple Play: Dodgers win World Series, capitalizing on a parade of Yankee errors to win Game 5
How does it feel L.A.?! The Dodgers are world champions after beating the Yankees Wednesday 7-6 in Game 5! After dropping Game 4 to the Yankees and falling behind in Game 5, Dodger fans began to think the series was heading back to L.A. But instead... the Dodgers became the "Comeback Kids." Actually they had to do it twice. The inning where they took the lead — the eighth inning when a sacrifice fly by Mookie Betts brought home Tommy Edman and the Dodgers went up 7-6 and never looked back. Strong late-inning pitching by Blake Treinen and Walker Buehler sealed the deal and the Boys in Blue became world champs! "Who wants a parade?!" Dave Roberts, the Dodgers' manager, said at the after-game ceremony. In short order, L.A. came through with the requisite fireworks after the last out was had and the Dodgers clinched the series. In a post on X, the Dodgers said a parade was in store in downtown L.A. on Friday, with more details to come. Freddie Freeman, who game after game came through with home runs to propel the Dodgers' momentum, was named MVP of the series. Today on AirTalk, we’ll convene the Triple Play of Larry, former host of LAist’s All Things Considered Nick Roman and A Martinez, host of NPR’s Morning Edition to recap the Dodgers World Series run.

Parenting series: Differential treatment of siblings and the long-lasting consequences
A lot of parents may not even realize that they're treating their kids differently when they're doing it, but the act can have long-lasting consequences for siblings and their relationships, even well into adulthood. According to research on the subject, differential treatment is associated with poor outcomes, relationships and behavior. But of course, every kid is different, so equal treatment can't always be a reality. So what's the answer? Today on AirTalk, we talk about parenting siblings, the biggest challenges and conflicts, the repercussions and potential solutions. Joining to discuss is Shawn Whiteman, professor at Utah State University who researches families with multiple children and the interplay between families that shape the adolescence and early adulthood experience, and Jeannette York, a Toluca Lake-based LMFT who works with families and siblings. Does this resonate with you? What's your family's experience? How'd you find solutions and understanding?
Our neighboring states of Nevada and Arizona are shaping out to be the key places to win this election
California is a blue state, through and through. But its closest neighbors, Nevada and Arizona, are two of the most important swing states in this year's election. Harris and Trump are both visiting Arizona today in a last minute attempt to gain some extra votes. Recent polls show Harris and Trump are neck in neck in both states as early voting and mail-in ballots begin to trickle in. Nevada and Arizona's respective Latino voters may be the deciding block for either candidate while the economy and immigration remain top issues for these states' voters.
Today on AirTalk, we look to our neighboring states for updates on what issues are driving swing state voters and what we can expect to come out of the Nevada and Arizona elections with only days to spare. We're joined by Paul Boger, producer and politics reporter for KNPR and Jerod MacDonald-Evoy, reporter for the Arizona Mirror.
