Sir Michael Caine: from the Elephant to Hollywood

He thought his career was over 18 years ago, but he couldn’t have been more wrong. Sir Michael Caine has been an actor for more than five decades, taking on such roles as Alfie, Austin Powers’ father Nigel, and Bruce Wayne’s butler, Alfred. With so many diverse roles and years in show business, it’s no wonder that Mr. Caine has experienced enough to write a book. And write a book, he did. In his autobiography, “The Elephant to Hollywood,” Sir Caine divulges his personal Hollywood tale, giving readers a glimpse of his life as a soldier, a father and husband, and an actor.

 

Guest: 

Michael Caine


 

2:06 – 2:19

Wendy Greuel is in control(ler)

How much money did the City Attorney’s office fail to collect and what is being done to fix it? What did the $72,000 dollar 24 page report on the LAUSD turn up? And will scaling back pensions for newly hired police officers and firefighters save enough to maintain taxpayer-funded services here in L.A.? We ask the woman with the answers.

 

Guest:

Wendy Greuel, City Controller for Los Angeles

 

 

2:21 – 2:58:30

You only think you saw what you saw – Halloween with the Skeptic Society 

It was dark and stormy night (and by night I mean afternoon, we are on weekdays from 1 – 3pm) at the Mohn Broadcast Center and even though Patt was the only one in the studio she could hear the voices of calls from beyond – no, it isn’t a ghost story it is us celebrating Halloween the way only public radio can – with a skeptic. According to a 2005 Gallup poll 32% of Americans say that they believe in ghosts. Ready for a round of spook the skeptic?

 

Guests:

Michael Shermer, Founding Publisher of Skeptic magazine and Executive Director of the Skeptics Society
