Ep 14. Hey WA, Who's Your Swing Daddy?

In this week's episode, Jethro and Charlotte get to chat with Roger Schmidlin. Some would say he's the guy who started all this swing dancing nonsense in Perth 20 odd years ago. Others (ie Charlotte) may say that if you started dancing in Perth, he's yo' Swing Daddy (or grandaddy, or great grandaddy) Also, there was a thing called the SWING FACTORY AND THAT'S AMAZING.

We must say a massive thank you to Roger for taking the time to chat with us. Also a massive thank you to Rob Bloom who literally has a 98 page document listing all of the swing dance in Oz and NZ history from 1996 and to Michelle Turner for providing another document detailing Perth’s history!
