Episode 2 will be all about my co-host and veteran podcaster Doug Smith. From KISS to Duran Duran: Doug Smith’s Journey from Drummer to Podcaster In this episode of Music Meeting: Temecula Valley & Beyond, Dwight flips the mic and interviews his co-host Doug Smith. Doug shares how his love of music began with KISS on the Paul Lynde Halloween Special, evolved through Duran Duran and David Bowie, and eventually led him to playing in San Diego tribute bands, punk groups, and shows at iconic venues like the Casbah and House of Blues. Doug also reflects on how drumming, the local music scene, and his experiences in bands inspired him to launch podcasts like The Albums That Saved Us and the Snoop Dougie Show. Along the way, you’ll hear stories of near-miss gigs, the challenges of click tracks, and the passion for connecting artists, fans, and communities through music. Whether you’re a musician, a fan of the SoCal music scene, or just love behind-the-scenes stories, this conversation shines a spotlight on the music that shapes lives.
