Episode 13- Dag Juhlin

Hog Butcher Radio Hour

There are any number of ways that you might know Dag Juhlin. Maybe you were a fan of The Slugs, the underdog, hard drinking, fist fighting band Dag co-founded with his brother, Gregg. Or maybe you know him from the innovative Poi Dog Pondering. Or his good-time party band of crack musicians, Expo 76. Or his new band, Sunshine Boys. Or his day job as one of radio legend Steve Dahl’s sidemen on his weekday radio show on WLS in Chicago. Or the daily podcast they do as well. There are any number of ways you might know Dag Juhlin and in our conversation, we talk about all of them. Plus Dag’s childhood “career” as a commercial actor, his Dad’s legendary career in the heyday of live television, his early day job stint at Sportsvision, and how it felt to get the call from his radio hero, Dahl, just in the nick of time. Also, later in the show, Sue Salvi has an unusual wish.
