Swedish-American jazz vocalist Inga Swearingen and A Prairie Home Companion regular creates her unique hybrid of jazz, Bossa Nova and Swedish folk ballads on the Central Coast. Pedro Arroyo and Catherine J. Trujillo interview her in two of her most treasured environments: her coastal home and her beloved hometown venue the Steynberg Gallery. Episode #6: The Polymath Designer, the Salon Keeper, and the Illustrated Diarist 
San Luis Obispo shelters a small enclave of cultural theorists who put their ideas and dreams into practice through their artistic pursuits, community organizing, and quiet interactions with the county’s natural landscape. Their stories are a source of rich depth and understanding because of the commitment they hold to the community, and their identifiable points of view. These artists and architects are of two-minds and many have collaborated on designing their habitats for artistic expression and production. Their collective artistic approach has resulted in building and living that are inhabitable installations. (Gary Dwyer, Jim Bagnall, and Heidi Harmon)
Epilogue
Arts & Culture Along the El Camino Real set out to document San Luis Obispo County with a new voice. What emerged was an operatic note about the love for our county. These residents, occupants, transplants to the county are deeply invested in their community and stitching together their stories has built a road with an ongoing mix of voices, opinions, connections — a road of people’s dreams.
