Left, Right & Center is public radio's popular week-in-review program, recently named by iTunes as one of its "best podcasts." Matt serves as the show's host as well as the voice of the political center. The show also features Robert Scheer, author and editor-in-chief of Truthdig.com, on the left; and a rotating cast of leading conservatives on the right. (The cast is in transition in 2012 after the untimely death of Tony Blankley, the show's longtime voice of the right). LRC also features frequent appearances by such eclectic authorities as Chrystia Freeland of Thomson Reuters, former Clinton economic aide Laura Tyson, and Arianna Huffington, who was a regular on the show for many years.
Produced at KCRW-FM in Santa Monica, the show airs in 50 cities nationally, including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle, and reaches a growing global audience on the web.
