Our friends at KCRW announced that DnA, the monthly show featuring host Frances Anderton, is gearing up for a major renovation. KCRW’s show exploring the world of design and architecture, will grow from a single monthly on-air program to a weekly podcast, a lively blog, and a team of design journalists, also known as “DJs,” to report on emerging design talent in L.A. and beyond. The L.A. art and design community gathered to celebrate the show’s relaunch last night, with a live discussion between host Frances Anderton and Tesla founder Elon Musk at his Santa Monica store. Helms Bakery happened to attend the DnA 2.0 launch and found out so many interesting things about Mr. Musk, including his love for all things Monty Python.

Frances Anderton continues in her role which she’s held since 2002, as DnA’s host and executive producer. As the author of several books on Los Angeles and Las Vegas architecture, her diverse mix of editorial contributions include Dwell, the New York Times, and L.A. Architect. Anderton’s most recent contribution as producer on KCRW public affairs shows Which Way, LA and To The Point fostered her knowledge of politics and current affairs, giving her a unique vantage point on the broad impact architecture and design have on communities.

“LA is admired the world over for its innovation in architecture, fashion, entertainment design, and more. And, the design of our visual environment has a huge impact on how we live our lives,” says Frances Anderton. “I’m thrilled that we will increase our coverage of, and participation in this creative community and the work that shapes our lives.”
