    I listen to Chocolate City regularly on the radio and could record it... but
    Chocolate city is also broadcasted from the KCRW website (kcrw.org). It
    gets broadcasted twice in a 24 hour period. If you check out their website,
    you'll find the listening area which streams 24 hours a day. It's possible
    it may even be archived cuz they have some past shows. Hope this helps ...
    Beau.

    P.S. Chocolate City is the dopest show on KCRW (IMHO) which is saying a lot
    since KCRW's programming is excellent all around. Garth Trinidad is the DJ
    that put me up on music other than hip hop. You'll hear everthing from west
    coast underground hip hop to afro beat, new soul, quality dance/house music.
    Years ago he turned me on to Fela Kuti, Yusef Lateef, Joe Claussell, Peanut
    Butter Wolf, Lonnie Liston, Guidance Recordings, 4 Hero, and so many others
    ... He was pumpin several cuts off King Britt's soon to be released album
    back in the summer of 1999. This doesnt come close to covering the variety
    of Black music he plays. Without Garth I'd have no clue as to the dope
    music being made all over the planet. All i knew about when i discovered
    Chocolate City was Goodie Mob, OUtkast and Wu tang (whom i still like). So
    props to Garth Trinidad and check out the show!
