Nothing better. 100% the Compass Theater/Second City of the Bay Area music scene.

They may be the S.F. equivalent of what London was to Hollywood Glam:
Steven Adler/Dane Rage? DePace. Nikki Sixx/Blackie Lawless? Shatter. Izzy Stradlin/Slash? Gray. Nadir D'Priest? OK, you got me...

Previous episodes have featured guests from Australia (Skye Klein of Terminal Sound System and HALO), Norway (Fleurety's Svein Egil Hatlevik), and the good ol' USA (Andy Hawkins of Blind Idiot God).

I'll have one more episode before hitting the "pause" button and resuming the WCA Podcast

Giving this another try, this time without any l-i-n-k-s.

ICYMI, I uploaded a new (archival) episode of the WCA podcast a couple of weeks ago, in memory of Arkansaw Man's Stephen Bartholomew Clarke.

I'll have at least one more of these archival episodes coming in the semi-near future.

It's ok. I'm sorry for complaining. There's way too much content out there as it is...

I have good guests, and I put a lot of time (too much time, really) into editing each episode, cutting out the rambling (esp. on my end) and trying to get the segues just right.

But it feels like a constant battle against the social media algos and the overall glut of content.

I have a couple more episodes of this in the queue, but at this rate, I probably won't continue making new ones.

I know it's a niche audience, but either that audience is even smaller than I'd realized, or I'm just no good at reaching it.
