Tay and Mike are back to start the official first episode of the re-launched Black Dog Salvage Podcast! In this episode, the guys pickup where they left off last week and talk us through how the very first episode of Salvage Dawgs came to life and what it was like being filmed for a TV show for the first time.

Season 1 Episode 1 of the show is titled "Izard House", still streaming on Discovery +, and takes place both at Black Dog Salvage and at an old 1890's farmhouse up on Bent Mountain, about 30mins south of Roanoke, VA.

The episode is described as:

"Robert Kulp, Mike Whiteside and the Black Dog crew salvage the Izard House, a two-room cabin built in 1892. The team removes a box bay window in one piece, a Dixie Oak stove, a stairwell and old poplar wood."
