By Live Talks LA | November 25, 2025

 

Yes, it’s that time of year:  The LiveTalks Los Angeles Holiday Signed Books Pop-Up Store.

We know you love & appreciate that signed books make the absolute best gifts.  And we have some gems from the last 15 years.  Visit the store and see what’s available.  Note that books from all events in 2025 will be available.

So please join us in DTLA on Saturday December 6 & 13. We’ll have books, wine & cheese and there will be hummus to go along with your shopping and we will be happy to see you.  If you are so inclined, we’d also love to hear your stories about favorite events, people you met, when you first attended one of our events.  We’ll record some of these!

Also, on December 6 at 3:30pm Susan Orlean will be signing her memoir Joy Ride.

Yes, there will be merch! Live Talks LA t-shirts, hats and tote bags as well as (because we value hummus here)  There Will Be Hummus t-shirts and hats.

 

 

Since the inception of Live Talks Los Angeles, we have commissioned posters for select events (over 70 so far) from artist Thomas Jennings.  For the first time, they will all be exhibited together in the Pop Up Store! In December 2026, they’ll be collected in a beautifully designed coffee table book accompanied with excerpts from the associated conversations. 

10% of sales from our Pop Up Store on December 13 will be donated to the Downtown YMCA towards their youth programs.

You are welcome to shop online in advance and pick up your order on either December 6 or 13.

Sam Rubin, RIP

By Live Talks LA | May 11, 2024
We are so saddened by the news of Sam Rubin’s untimely passing. He served as interviewer for several of our events and added greatly to the conversation with each author. We always knew we were in good hands when he appeared on our stage. Our deepest sympathy goes to his family and colleagues at KTLA. Sam’s professionalism and warmth will be missed.
 
Sam was a good friend to Live Talks Los Angeles.   He was a fan of entertainment and very good at covering it. He generously moderated eleven of our conversations on the Live Talks Los Angeles stage, most recently interviewing Billy Dee Williams this past February. He also chatted with Jeff Bridges, Daymon John, Bryan Cranston, Don Cheadle, Aasif Mandvi, Gloria Gaynor, Billy Ray Cyrus, Terry Gilliam, Alan Cumming and Garry Marshall.
RIP.
 
Here are some of the videos of the interviews…
