West Coast Fog
Summary: A weekly audio tour of the forgotten West, visiting obscure moments in musical and cultural history along the way. Each week special. Host Erik Bluhm was the editor of Great God Pan magazine (“the Champion of Californiana”) through the ‘90s and West Coast Fog may be seen as an aural extension of that venture.
