How to replay KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic from a specific date?

I have a burning desire to replay the entirety of Morning Becomes Eclectic from Thursday October 26th 2017. I've downloaded the KCRW app and search Google extensively and can just not figure this out. Help? Is this even possible?

If it's not possible, then if you heard the broadcast and know where I can listen to a copy of just the version of Nature Boy they played along with the poem that preceded it, I would be extremely happy. Or even just the specific names of those tracks so I can find them myself.

The playlist seems to be available in its entirety on some dude's spotify, here.

Response by poster: rtha, as cool as that is, that's not a replay.

Response by poster: (Not a replay because it doesn't include Nature Boy by Nat King Cole and the broadcast I heard on Thursday morning in my car in Los Angeles definitely included that song)

Can you email them and ask the names?

Best answer: Here's the info from KCRW's playlist for Jason Bentley's MBE on Oct 26 2017 (note: I had to click "Load More" to see the beginning of the show - the list is in reverse chrono order; click on the title to expand and see the album):

9:07 AM
Eden Ahbez - Full Moon
Album: Eden's Island
Label: Del-Fi

This is the poem -- here's an official-looking version of "Full Moon" on YouTube.

9:11 AM
Nat King Cole - Nature Boy
Album: Legendary Singers
Label: Capitol Records

Didn't find this recording on YT offhand, and the album is a 2-disc box set that seems to be out of print.

Eden Ahbez wrote "Nature Boy" (the playlist also has a supplementary link to an episode of the podcast "Unfictional" with more about the song: "Read the story behind the Nat King Cole classic 'Nature Boy' on this episode of Unfictional").

Btw the last segment of the Oct. 26th show, the live performance by Iron & Wine, is available to play from the KCRW site (audio-only or video).

In case it helps for the future: it seems you can replay the full, most recent MBE show from the website. So if you ever want to hear a particular full show again, your best bet would be to catch it online before the next one airs.
