Show Notes

January, 11 2026, 8AM; The Palisades and Eaton fires claimed 31 lives, destroyed more than 16,000 structures and obliterated almost everything across nearly 80 square miles. Senior Political and National Reporter Jacob Soboroff covered the costliest wildfire event in American history last year as his own childhood home in the Los Angeles’ Pacific Palisades neighborhood was destroyed. His new book “FIRESTORM: The Great Los Angeles Fires and America’s New Age of Disaster” offers a deeply reported account of the catastrophe. Soboroff joins The Weekend to discuss his book and aftermath of those fires.
