Welcome, listeners, to Things to Do in Los Angeles! Today is Sunday, September 21, 2025, and as your globe-trotting sports fanatic Oly Bennet, I’m fired up for an electrifying LA adventure. Sunshine is serving up classic SoCal vibes with warm temps in the mid-80s and those golden hour rays giving everything that cinematic LA sparkle—perfect weather to get out and explore this wild, wonderful city.
The pulse of the city is unstoppable today, with a line-up bursting at the seams. Kicking things off, sports fans have LAFC taking on Real Salt Lake at BMO Stadium tonight, a real showstopper if you love soccer—there’s even a special tribute to Carlos Vela, complete with pregame festivities and post-match fireworks. Across town, the LA Chargers are charging into SoFi Stadium for an afternoon face-off against the Denver Broncos, riding high on their undefeated streak.
For all my music-loving legends, tonight’s a jackpot. Avalon Hollywood plays host to Andru Donalds, the golden voice of Enigma, in what promises to be an atmospheric, genre-spanning show starting at 7 p.m. Not your speed? Hit up the Echoplex where Molly Nilsson closes out her U.S. tour, or groove to the cool jazz sounds at the 30th Annual Central Avenue Jazz Festival, one of LA’s longest-running celebrations of the city’s jazz roots, with live performances and family-friendly festivities stretching all day along historic Central Avenue.
If you’re in the mood for quirk, the Los Angeles International Ukulele Festival wraps up today at the Torrance Cultural Arts Center. You’ll find free jam sessions, workshops, and performances to put a little pep in your step—and yes, there’s a chance to strum a tune, even if your only musical experience is belting out shower tunes. Party fans, get those swimsuits out and ride the rhythm at the Afrobeats Rooftop Pool Party at Golden Hour in downtown LA, a six-hour dance marathon blending Afrobeats, hip hop, and throwbacks with epic skyline views.
Don’t miss the Train Festival 2025 at Union Station, running through today until 6 p.m. with model train displays, live entertainment, and hands-on fun for families and enthusiast rail riders alike. Over in Griffith Park, the Haunted Hayride continues to spook with Elvira’s Trick or Treat Mayhem and a slew of haunted attractions—because in LA, it’s never too early for Halloween chills.
In the world of city buzz, LA Metro is running extra service today on several lines due to big events, so skip the car and hop on the train—truly, the best way to avoid gridlock and get to all these happenings. There’s word on the street, too, about new eateries opening up in Koreatown and the Arts District, so if your day starts with jazz hands and ends with a quest for taco gold, treat yourself.
Listeners, here’s an Oly Bennet tip: never underestimate LA’s stairways. From the iconic Beachwood Canyon steps to the secret stairs in Silver Lake, taking these pedestrian shortcuts is not only a killer workout—it’s the best way to stumble upon hidden murals, epic city views, and even the occasional pop-up coffee cart serving the smoothest cold brew. Local legend says that somewhere along these stairs, you’ll find the best avocado toast in the city, but that’s a tale for another day.
Looking ahead—tomorrow brings even more epic events with Burna Boy lighting up the night, and the Los Angeles AIDS Walk rallying the community for a cause. So stick with me, Oly Bennet, and let’s make every LA day a new adventure.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
