From the arts to the artists, The Lounge is KPBS Radio's look inside San Diego's world of music, spoken word, performance art, film and just about any other compelling story waiting to be told.

From live call-in segments, to performances of all kinds, The Lounge and Host Dirk Sutro are focused on good conversation. "We're about the color, the people, the fun, the music ... all the reasons to live in San Diego."
From Cyber-pioneers to pioneering city-dwellers, Dirk Sutro has lived inside the creative world of architecture and magazine publishing for nearly 20 years. Sutro was the managing editor of San Diego Home/Garden Lifestyles magazine from 1983 to 1987, and became the magazine's top editor shortly thereafter, a position he held for three years. From 1988 to 1992, he was a Jazz and Architecture writer for the LA Times. In addition to magazines and newspapers, Sutro has published two books; West Coast Wave: New California Houses and most recently Jazz For Dummies.

In the world according to Dirk, music, art and other creative elements are the basic building blocks of life. And Dirk Sutro and The Lounge are interested in anyone or anything that pushes our perceptions, from independent film and modern dance to poetry slams and performance art. Join The Lounge every Monday through Friday night at 6:30 p.m.
