Frances Anderton came to Los Angeles via Bath, England in 1991 and like her compatriot Reyner Banham, fell in love with the city. As a longtime producer and host of radio shows Which Way, LA? and DnA: Design and Architecture respectively, Anderton has spent the last 25 years of her professional and personal life exploring the relationship between L.A.'s architecture, politics and design.

Much like Banham, Anderton infuses her shows, articles, and talks with a deep sense of loyalty for Los Angeles, celebrating its constant sense of renewal and questioning - or perhaps dreading the time when the city will finally "grow up".
