Peter likes to keep the show loose by not taking himself too seriously. "I add humor whenever I can," he said. "I want people to listen to my show for two reasons. One, they want something interesting and entertaining to listen to, and two, they want to listen to Peter Swanson. I want to be the personality people turn on the radio or tune in online for."

Recently, indie filmmakers and members of Red Bridge Productions, David Parfitt and Nick Schearer, gues starred on the show. Also WSUM Sports Director Kyle Deckelbaum called in from Washington DC to express his thoughts on former NC State QB Russell Wilson transferring to UW.

If Peter could bring any guest onto his show, however, he would invite Snoop Dog because, "Other than being one ofhte coolest, most widely known celebrities in America, he has a pretty legit radio voice. I know people would listen to my show if Snoop Dog was a guest."

Recent topics covered on the Immaculate Perception include hte poslitical state in Wisconsin, Russell Wilson, the top five films of all time, Barry Alvarez, and Breaking Bad. This is just a sampling, however, of the topics covered on Peter Swanson's show.

"I am also trying to bring on some local musicians. I guess you will have to tune in to find out. If you like to converse on topics such as pop-culture, sports, and/ or local events then you will like the Immaculate Perception."
