Left, Right & Center
Provocative, up-to-the-minute, alive and witty, KCRW's weekly confrontation over politics, policy and popular culture proves those with impeccable credentials needn't lack personality. This weekly "love-hate relationship of the air" features four of the most insightful news analysts anywhere.
NOTE: As you probably know, AOL has acquired The Huffington Post, with Arianna Huffington becoming president and editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post Media Group, which will include all Huffington Post and AOL content. Alas, during this massive transition, Arianna will only be able to appear on Left Right & Center occasionally, but she's assured us that she remains committed to the program and will return on a more regular basis in four to six months. In the interim, you'll hear from an array of guest panelists. Let us know if you have any suggestions.
