It’s looking good for the GOP to take over the Senate. We get the latest on the midterm elections. Plus, the Santa Monica Airport has sparked a debate between the rich and the super rich; we look at the fight to close this municipal airport. Also, KCRW music librarian Eric J. Lawrence takes us beyond the Monster Mash and Thriller with a look at more obscure Halloween music. And there’s not a lot of candy at the box office this weekend. We look at this week’s film offerings. And we talk about how one woman is changing the conversation about euthanasia around the country.
