Hi, I'm a Marnan. I host of To the Point in Which Way, L.A. And thanks so much for listening to our programs.

If you're like me, and you need help navigating the busy film awards season, I've got a podcast for you to check out.

It's called The Treatment hosted by Elvis Mitchell. He goes beyond the plot to understand what inspires the actors, the filmmakers, the producers, and others to do what they do.

You can find the treatment on KCRW's iTunes page.

From KCRW in Santa Monica and PRI, Public Radio International, this is To the Point.

License plates, law enforcement, and violations of privacy.

Hello again, I'm Norman Alney, and this is To the Point from Public Radio International.

A daily look at the issues Americans care about most.

Have you been to a marijuana dispensary?

How about a gun show, an abortion clinic, or the home of somebody

you're not married to? Federal, state, and local police may well have a visual record picked

up during blanket surveillance of automobile license plates. It's supposed to be about drug

traffic and stolen cars, but critics call it another massive violation of privacy rights protected by the Constitution.

The NSA knows what you do on the Internet.

Now law enforcement knows where you've been.

Today's talking point, will personalized medicine be a game changer for health care in America?

First, here's the news.
