Harry Shearer’s “Le Show” on KCRW

Note:  You never know what you're going to hear on "Le Show." The quality varies greatly from week to week. But the best of his shows are really great, e.g. the interview with Yves Smith (above). Chicago's NPR station WBEZ (91.5 FM) carries "Le Show" from 10:00 to 11:00 PM every Sunday night. All shows from the past several years are available as free podcasts/audio downloads from the KCRW site above.
