KCRW takes care of its own

Now that Matt Miller has his own book out, the moderate moderator of KCRW's politics show Left, Right & Center is being a guest and his colleagues are playing the host. Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. he gets to discuss the book on the KCRW (89.9) show The Politics of Culture, interviewed by David Frum -- the nominal Right on LR&C. A week from today on Sept. 15, KCRW's resident interviewer Warren Olney converses with Miller in a Writers Bloc event at the Museum of Tolerance. Miller's book is The Two Percent Solution: Fixing America’s Problems In Ways Liberals And Conservatives Can Love.

Also coming up on the Writers Bloc schedule:
   Oct. 3 - Madeleine Albright, in conversation with Warren Olney
   Oct. 22 - Joan Didion, in conversation with Tim Rutten
