KCRW's Guest DJ Project Goes Weekly Now Available as a Podcast

KCRW's Guest DJ Project Goes Weekly Now Available as a Podcast

New set by DIGG Founder Kevin Rose available at KCRW.com/guestdjproject

SANTA MONICA, Calif., July 17 /PRNewswire/ -- New sets from KCRW's Guest DJ Project will now be available on a weekly basis, featuring the musical passions and stories of a new guest every Wednesday on KCRW.com. The program will also be offered as a download and a podcast available via iTunes and other formats.

Like other popular station podcasts - including the free song a day "Today's Top Tune" and talk favorite "Left Right and Center" - the show will now be available in a format to suit the busy needs of KCRW listeners on the go. Past shows, including interviews with "Hancock" Director Peter Berg, Conan O'Brien, Padma Lakshmi, John Cusack and Danny DeVito, are also available as a podcast. See all podcasts from the Santa Monica-based public radio station here: http://www.kcrw.com/podcasts.

DIGG Founder and technology visionary Kevin Rose is the latest among the creative elite to share the soundtrack to his life, including songs that fuel his late night work hours and the track that was passed around the DIGG offices until the whole staff became fans.

A wide assortment of guests have dropped by our studios to talk about iconic songs that have inspired their careers and helped them through breakups, late days on the sets, long nights on the road, and other exciting and turbulent times in their lives. Up next, "American Teen" Director Nanette Burstein reflects on being a part of the "John Hughes generation," Comic book and "Heroes" artist Tim Sale talks about his code song for finishing a comic, and Actress and Comedian Janeane Garafalo shares songs and stories from her past with humor and sincerity.

Guests are asked to choose five songs that have inspired them throughout their life - a herculean task for any music lover. However, our gracious guests have dug into their music collections and opened their hearts to share stories that are inspirational, profound, hilarious and often surprising. The 10-minute pieces are available on-demand at
