KCRW, the Los Angeles public radio station, is by far my favorite station, which says quite a bit coming from someone who grew up listening to the incredibly awesome variety of broadcasts in Boston.  The station is a one stop shop for NPR news, “hand-picked” music, and entertainment, and now KCRW has launched “Five Things From KCRW“, a blog series that each week features a new top five list of favorite things compiled by the stations on-air personalities.

Even if you don’t live in LA, you should check out these lists to discover fresh and funny run-downs of topics such as “Top 5 Condiments” (one of my favorites), “5 Books for Summer Reading” (it’s not too late!), and “5 Ways to Make Each Day Worthwhile” (a healthy reminder).  There’s sure to be something for everyone, and who doesn’t love lists of cool things. 

And once you’ve checked out “Five Things”, be sure to explore KCRW’s other unique programs, including Morning Becomes Eclectic for killer new music, Good Food for tasty stories and rich politics, and To The Point for a multi-angled look at the latest news.
