They say it's who you know. They also say, you have to be at the right place at the right time. For many KCRW DJs the "who" to know is Chris Douridas and the right place is standing next to him.

Not long ago, the A's seemed dead and buried, but now Billy Beane looks like a genius again as Oakland has the hottest team in baseball.

The A&E report would never be so bold as to suggest a complete ban on using cell phones while driving. LA wouldn’t be LA anymore if the guy next to you on the 101 wasn’t negotiating deal points on his script or the woman in the next lane over wasn’t breaking up with her long-distance boyfriend while merging in front of you. That being said, it doesn’t hurt to wear a headset, but this......
