KCRW’s signature music program — defying format since 1977.

Earlier this month Irish singer-songwriter Glen Hansard (of The Frames / The Swell Season) performed a handful of songs from his latest album This Wild Willing for KCRW. He then sat down with Anne Litt to talk about his writing process and his travels (by 20 foot wooden boat) along the Spanish coast.
