Author Information

During his 20 years hosting AirTalk, LArry Mantle has spoken with thousands of prominent guests on an extraordinary array of local, national, and international topics. AirTalk's guest list has included Jimmy Carter, Carl Sagan, Rosa Parks, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Steve Martin, Isabel Allende, Michael Caine, Bob Woodward, Milton Berle, Barbara Bush, Kevin Starr, and Cornel West.Mantle and the AirTalk team have also received numerous journalistic awards, including: six Golden Mikes from the Radio & TV News Association of Southern California, Best Talk Show from New Times LA, and several L. A. Press Club and Associated Press awards. As a fourth-generation Angeleno, I am so fortunate to have found a long term home at KPCC. The station has consistently grown in quality and size since my arrival 22 years ago, and that has allowed my career to progress without having to leave the region, or station, that are truly my homes, said Mantle. Best of all, AirTalk allows me to converse with the finest possible radio audience. KPCC listeners care deeply about what's happening in their communities, and around the world. I get a thrill from connecting with our listeners from a wide range of backgrounds, communities and interests; and working with such a dedicated team at KPCC. Larry Mantle is a regional treasure, and AirTalk is the broadcast equivalent of Trader Joe's or In 'N' Out: intrinsically and distinctively Southern Californian. And, just like Trader Joe's and In 'N' Out, AirTalk and KPCC are beginning to have a national impact, said Bill Davis, President of Southern California Public Radio. So, while we're proud to be celebrating this 20-year milestone, what's really exciting is that the best of AirTalk is yet to come. Larry's continuing to grow--both as a journalist and as a host. We're looking forward to many more years of hearing Larry connect the people and the communities of this diverse metropolis with one another for years to come.
