This week we're addressing a buzzword head-on, "Cancel Culture" and examining the nuances between it and accountability. We were joined by Toni Davis, Holliewood, Jonathan Yang, plus friends of the foundation, Jordana David, Nefertiti Warren, and Melody Gutierrez to discuss this hot topic. Generally, Cancel Culture is brought up in complaint, however, are there some positive aspects to it, and is it actually a necessary evil on the road to accountability this day and age? Are we expecting too much out of public figures? What's the anatomy of a good apology? You'll have to check this episode out for the conversation!

Governor Gavin Newsom is partnering with Blue Shield and Kaiser to distribute COVID-19 vaccines. The contract with Blue Shield is now public, and the goal is to administer 3 million doses a week starting next month. “It centralizes a system that is very fragmented. So you will see a lot of pulling together there and having one entity deciding where the need is, versus it being distributed to counties, and then counties deciding where the need is,” says Melody Gutierrez, state government and politics reporter for the Los Angeles Times. However, many counties are unhappy about this. Gutierrez talked to Holly Mitchell of the LA County Board of Supervisors on Monday. “She was saying that this is worrisome to her that there's still a lot of murkiness in terms of what this algorithm will produce, and where these doses will be sent.”

The elusive Golden State Killer is alleged to have committed more than 100 burglaries, 50 rapes and 12 murders, in at least 10 California counties, from 1974 through 1986. After searching for more than 40 years, authorities finally got their break. To quote Sacramento District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert, "We all knew that we were looking for a needle in a haystack. We found the needle in the haystack and it was right here in Sacramento."
