Dear Heavyweight Programming Executive,
Below, is a memo and video playlist for a radio and TV show with L.A. #legend/#icon, Zuma Dogg.
"Zuma Dogg" is a pop-culture/comedy character (like an "In Living Color"/"SNL" character); that became politically active, when City of L.A. banned amps on Venice Beach boardwalk. The rest is history.
The uniqueness of ZD is the mixture of comedy and politics, as one media personality. Both elements are represented on this page. Have fun! - ZD

Zuma Dogg - Talk Radio Playlist (Political)

You are really a City treasure and font of wisdom Zumie! You are so special you should actually be a ride at Disneyland. Waiting with my pen to write down your next utterance for my Inspiration Board. [NO, she's no being sarcastic..I hope. - ZD]
#ZumaShow Memo For Programming Execs: See quotes, below, about "Zuma Dogg": Former radio DJ/Program Director/Consultant -- turned L.A. cable TV comedy icon with his "Zuma Dogg" pop-culture/comedy character; making a BIG debut on, "The Howard Stern Show," in 2000 (see videos, below) -- followed by a ten year run on cable TV, throughout Southern California. (Real life, "Wayne's World"=BIG NAME RECOGNITION in #LA.)
In 2006, Mr. Dogg became active in #LA City Hall politics, when City Council passed an ordinance banning amps on the Venice Beach boardwalk.
ZD attended several hundred council meetings; to discuss this free speech issue (and then extending into a myriad of citywide issues). The meetings were broadcast on City TV with twelve airings a week; with ZD speaking throughout=huge street recognition.
ULTIMATE DOGGUMENTARY INTERVIEW w Paul E. Amori! Zuma Dogg eventually was forced to sue the City of Los Angeles, in Federal Court; and the judge ruled that L.A. City Council was guilty of breaking the law, in censorship of the public.
City of Los Angeles had to change their shady rules, both on the Venice Beach boardwalk; and in City Council chambers, during public comment forums. It became a free speech issue that made local, national and international newspaper headlines.
Zuma was also a frequent caller on KABC/KRLA/KTLK/KFI, with several hundred, high profile calls, as a City Hall insider. (A familiar voice to L.A. talk radio audience.)
KABC RADIO TALKER KEVIN JAMES (NOW CITY COMMISSIONER) DISCUSSES IMPACT OF ZUMA DOGG
After years and years of speaking throughout the televised council meetings -- and all the calls into radio -- Zuma Dogg is a semi-household, brand name for watchdogg, political activism; as never seen. (See media quotes at bottom of this page.)
The recent L.A. Mayor Election (March 07, 2017) gave ZD a chance to follow-up on his eleven year history, as L.A.'s top prophet/ranter/character/personality/municipal analyzer; to crank out a new wave a warnings, predictions and solutions as only, "*the one and only Zuma Dogg," can; and elevated Zuma Dogg's name and profile in L.A. -- as #ZumaDogg was a trending topic on twitter, last week (March 7, 2017), for the first time. [*="Los Angeles Times on ZD/February 2017]
ZD CAN BARELY WALK DOWN THE STREET WITHOUT FANS GETTING ALL HAPPY & EXCITED TO SEE HIM! ;)

* "Zuma Dogg, who is smarter than and knows more about city government than most Council members, has become something of an urban folk hero, skewering City Hall foibles and failures in his frequent public comment appearances broadcast on Channel 35. His 2009 campaign for mayor attracted respectable numbers of votes." - Ron Kaye/RonKayeLA.com

He prevailed against Garcetti’s rules, and now brings his cameracorder to every council meeting, as can any member of the public thanks to him." - LA Weekly.
