Given recent events in the LA Weekly newsroom, this is interesting: fired Weekly writer Howard Blume will sit in for regular Deadline L.A. host Barbara Osborn this Sunday on KPFK at 1 p.m. He is scheduled to interview his ex-colleague, Weekly writer Erin Aubry Kaplan, and her father Larry Aubry (the Sentinel columnist), about coverage of the King-Drew trauma center closure.
