Sonic Serial
Sonic Serial is a bi-weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into some of the most groundbreaking alternative, indie, electronic & avant-garde albums, track by track. Your hosts are Jesse Castro, a musician, producer & recording artist, and Marc Fernandez, a scientist and music lover. Our sometimes irreverent podcast offers analysis, background, perspective, and opinion about the artist's inspiration, motivation, and context behind each track. Upcoming episodes will feature albums by artists such as Bjork, Radiohead, AIR, and Portishead.
