Upcoming podcasts will include Dave's memories of the before and after of the Summer of Love in SF, the early 70s in Los Angeles, and the wild world of the San Francisco Punk/New Wave scene of the late 70s and early 80s. From shoplifting in the Tri-Cities, to the chaotic aftermath of the Hippie revolution in the Bay Area, from roaming Hugh Hefner's mansion during the zenith of California hedonism to the rough trade and creative explosion in 80s San Francisco, these podcasts will be remembered as 'podgasps' as the adage of Truth being Stranger than about anything, is confirmed by the Swan They Call D'og.

The music of the Pacific Northwest garage bands, along with the rest of the West Coast rock and RnB was the soundtrack of cool, troubled teens. The garage band music on AM radios was never as popular as the circuit of teen dance venues that teemed with teens from Medford to Monroe and from Longview to Libby.

Garage Organ Maestro Dave D'og Swan gets it all back with his inside insights on Ed Roth and what he meant to the Custom and Fantasy Car Culture. D'og's relationship with Big Daddy goes back to Dave Swan's Dog House, one of the premier productions on San Francisco Public TV Access in the 80s and 90s. But his admiration for and appreciation of this unique American Artist dates back to his teenage years of delinquency and artful deliverance.
