    Today on the LA Report, the latest on Mayor Karen Bass' 'Inside Safe' program, the Lakers move on to the Western Conference Final, and a rare male soprano singer makes his American debut in Southern California.

    The state of California recently implemented policies to phase out gas and diesel vehicles. We'll explain why a skilled workforce is going to be needed to support that transition.

    Then, L.A. Trade Technical College's culinary program is highly regarded. We'll visit one of their baking classes to see what it takes to become a chef in Los Angeles.

    Plus, when we recently launched our Queer LA project we got some questions about why we were using a word that some still find very offensive. AirTalk’s Larry Mantle led a conversation earlier this week about the use of the word "queer" in journalism that we’re revisiting today.
