Left, Right, & Center is a weekly hour-long public radio program that provides a "civilized yet provocative antidote to the self-contained opinion bubbles that dominate political debate".[1] The program is also distributed as a political podcast.[2] The show is recorded each Friday, produced by KCRW in Santa Monica, California, by Laura Dine Million.

After covering the week's events and speaking to invited guests about other topics of interest, each host gets a short period of time to rant or rave about whatever they like without fear of rebuttal. Effective with the broadcast of July 7, 2017, the show expanded from a half-hour to a full hour and changed its long-time theme music—"Let's Call the Whole Thing Off", sung by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong—with a new instrumental theme.[citation needed]
