KCRW Selects: The Organist

Jul. 13, 2018 Politics
KCRW’s Bob Carlson and host Andrew Leland introduce the new season of The Organist.

Bob and Andrew ring in the new season of The Organist with an excerpt from A 700-Foot Mountain of Whipped Cream. It’s a string of forgotten nuggets of radio history, delicately arranged into a glittering associative chain – a constellation of jingles and spots that somehow all add up to the life of one man: that of prolific and award-winning radio ad man Clive Desmond, as heard through the radio.
