new mic, hollywood sign wildlife, plague, and hershey's halloween candy

It's October 5th, 2026.

I start the show talking into my FIFINE Tank2 about my therapist appointment, including admitting that I haven't showered or brushed my teeth in months. Then I switch over to my Shure PG48 and talk about the microphone, running almost completely out of Café Bustelo, and being a little sluggish from my extremely watered-down coffee.

I talk about the surprisingly wild animal world underneath the Hollywood Sign, including snakes, bobcats, coyotes, mountain lions, and the legendary P-22. I also get into the new cameras and AI technology being used to watch for wildfires around Griffith Park.

Then I talk about a plague incident in Russia and wonder about how much governments tell the public during potentially serious outbreaks—and whether information can ever be deliberately downplayed to prevent panic.

I also read and talk about a Tasting Table ranking of Hershey's Halloween candy for 2026.

And somewhere in there, I play a very short air check from KJZY 93.7 Jazzy.

Just another episode of It's Me, Bree.
