This episode of Dopey takes listeners on a wild ride through the chaotic yet humorous world of addiction recovery.

As if that wasn’t enough to keep him busy, he’s also preparing for the Park City Song Summit, where he'll chat with musical talents like Anders Osborne about songwriting through addiction and recovery. Heart Attack Doug brings his own flavour to the mix, sharing anecdotes from his past and his unique style of backing the blue – a nod to his son who’s a police officer.
Doug's colourful tales of playing in punk and Psycho Billy bands add a layer of hilarity to the episode. If you're wondering what finger banging has to do with all this, well, Doug's got some thoughts on that too.
