Episode 15 – The Stew of Diversity (Book of Dawg)
This week we open The Book of Dawg to Chapter 1: The Stew of Diversity. Donnie Dawg and his friends discover why one ingredient alone doesn’t make a meal — or a life. From jambalaya to The Beatles’ Yesterday, to lessons on fanbases and artist managers, we stir up a layered recipe of music, food, and wisdom. Plus, the Rockvale Wheel spin closes us out with a full song from Don’s catalog.
