West Coast Fog Podcast

West Coast Fog

West Coast Fog radio
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.

Episode 52: Seaward Son - An Afternoon with RIP Hayman - West Coast Fog 8/25/21
Come with WCF as we revisit our visit with legendary Captain RIP Hayman. To paraphrase a little, he says, “My work is tangible spirit based on the awareness of sound, mingling meditation, mystery, humor, and human response. 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.”
