Best of what's on L.A.'s intelligent talk radio stations. Bold will indicate my picks. The others are options. Do check the stations' web schedules for other shows you may like and for good shows I may have missed. Some listing are just here cause the station doesn't have a schedule or a site yet. More as time allows. Please leave your comments on the message board from MENU. Also, see Favorites for other shows.
