#SupportKCRW

other than music

KCRW's Independent Producer Project has handpicked the most moving, hilarious, and heartwarming tales of 2013, all produced for KCRW by independent radio artists. You’ll hear about a little-known 1950s Chicano musician, who dominated the East LA music scene while keeping a really big secret. You’ll meet a Palestinian-American actor who changed his identity in order to go on tour with Barbara Streisand. And we’ll take you along on a trip, to the salt flats of Utah where a lapsed Mormon searches for her mother’s ghost.

Bob Carlson, the creator of UnFictional, hosts the afternoon. It was produced by Jenny Radelet.
