West Coast Fog

A weekly audio tour of the forgotten West, visiting obscure moments in musical and cultural history along the way. 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.

August 25, 2021 • 60 mins

I seek the unheard… I do this because it is the most real and imagined, detached and involved, earthy and ethereal way I can live and never know what will be next.”
