Let's Do Lunch is a "daily dose of local culture." Every weekday from noon to 1 pm, host René Engel brings you conversation, live performances and remote broadcasts from various cultural centers around the Southland. From the Petersen Automotive Museum and a discussion of the Miracle Mile district to West Los Angeles and a look at the revitalization of Westwood, Let's Do Lunch takes listeners on a tour of the places, people and events that make Los Angeles a cultural Mecca. This audio smorgasbord has featured Joni Mitchell talking about exhibiting her paintings, a book reading at the new TeenScape wing at the Central Library in Downtown Los Angeles, and a kibitzing session with Borscht-belt comic legends like Red Buttons. A post-modern version of the much-loved radio program "Luncheon at the Music Center," which aired on KFAC, Let's Do Lunch is a borderless excursion through the many worlds of Los Angeles. It immerses listeners in all the music, art, events, people and views that define - or rather defy defining - the L.A. cultural scene. In short, it's lunch well spent.

Monday through Friday, Noon-1 p.m.
