Life and career Born in Birmingham, England, Harcourt lived in Lichfield, England, and Brisbane, Australia before coming to the United States. Before joining KCRW, Harcourt worked for eight years (1990-1998) as a news director and later morning drive show host, music director and program director at radio station WDST in Woodstock, New York, which he described as "an innovative commercial station ... renowned as a bastion of new music, always being ahead of the curve".

He later wrote, "my new job was a very different proposition from the controlled playlist of commercial radio. All of a sudden I found myself with the greatest job in radio where I was allowed to play anything I like and go as deep into an album as I wanted to." KCRW management selected Jason Bentley to replace Harcourt on both Morning Becomes Eclectic and as music director.
