Novena plays the People's Playlist on Election Day
KCRW’s signature music program — defying format since 1977.

When Patti Smith took the stage for KCRW's Apogee Sessions a couple of weeks ago, we knew we were in for a very special performance. We share that experience on Morning Becomes Eclectic as Patti and her band perform new songs from her latest recording, Banga, as well as timeless classics, at 11:15am.

KCRW’s Resident DJ is a sonic laboratory where artists are invited to reinvent, reimagine, and lean into their most eclectic, creative impulses. Resident DJ airs every Thursday night/Friday morning from midnight to 1 a.m. PT, and can be streamed anytime on the KCRW app. Just in time for Pride Month, Hercules & Love Affair will be our Resident DJ for June 2026.
