This episode's guest is Myke Dodge Weiskopf. I met Myke through KCRW's Independent Producer program, as he's the senior producer in the Music Department. He's been publicly writing, thinking, and obsessing about music since age 13, when he published his first fanzine on a hand-me-down Apple IIe and a dot-matrix printer.

He is the founding producer of KCRW's Lost Notes (which I reviewed on my website), and – as he writes on his website -- makes beautiful and atmospheric audio stories. A love of sound is the fundamental through-line in his life and work. When he's not producing audio, he's an avid outdoorsman, and has worked as a fire lookout under the US Forest Service and volunteered on backcountry trail restoration projects deep in Los Padres National Forest.
