Left, Right, & Center is a weekly half-hour public radio program that provides a "civilized yet provocative antidote to the screaming talking heads that dominate political debate".[1] The show's regular co-hosts are:[1]
- Matthew Miller, senior fellow at the Center for American Progress representing the Center, and moderator.[2]
- Robert Scheer, editor-in-chief of Truthdig, representing the Left.[3]
- Tony Blankley, editorial page editor of the Washington Times representing the Right.[4]
- Arianna Huffington, Huffington Post publisher, representing the "fourth dimension of political time and space," the independent-progressive blogosphere.[5]
The show is recorded each Friday, produced by KCRW in Santa Monica, California,[1] although hosts typically contribute over ISDN telephone lines from wherever they happen to be. After covering the week's events, each host gets a short period of time to "rant" about whatever they like without fear of rebuttal.
The broadcast is bookended by theme music "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off", sung by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.
