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."
