These days, David Sedaris is the thinking person’s favorite funny man. In the past, we have featured his live readings of comic material from When You are Engulfed in Flames. (See “Related Content” below.) Today, we’re highlighting something a little different. On August 19th, Sedaris appeared as a guest DJ on KCRW, a radio station in Los Angeles, and spun his favorite old records. You can listen with the player below or here. Meanwhile, if you want to hear more of KCRW’s Guest DJ Project (which has featured David Lynch, Jimmy Wales, and other cultural icons), you can get the podcast here: iTunes — Feed — Web Site.
