    In LA County as of today, people must show proof of full vaccination when they enter a bar, nightclub or brewery. Within the City of LA starting November 8, people will have to show their vaccine cards at most public places, including restaurants, movie theaters, museums, gyms, and hair salons. On a national level, January 4, 2022 is the deadline for all U.S. companies with 100 or more employees to ensure that their workforces are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or can show a negative test once a week. KCRW gives an explainer of the different mandates.

    This weekend, we set our clocks back one hour as daylight saving time (DST) ends. But researchers say it’s dangerous for mental and physical health, that the number of fatal car accidents in the spring rises when people lose an hour.

    We also get reviews for the newest films and recommendations for fall cookbooks.
