Monday, 3/14 at 5 & 9 p.m. – Knight Life

The Knight Life is a block of student-produced podcast content. This installment features some highlights from the fall 2021 semester, including episodes of the call-in show “The Listening Machine,” and the musical interview show “San Diego Local Spotlight.”

The Listening Machine: In this episode from season 1, which focused on San Diegans’ experiences living through the COVID-19 pandemic, we hear from a grandmother about the struggles of reintegrating into society after so many months spent isolating. We also hear from an essential worker who didn’t have the luxury of isolation.

San Diego Local Spotlight: Skylar Eppler, host of SDLS, heads down to National City to talk with members of Los Shadows about the band’s start and how, despite their promising trajectory, it all came screeching to a halt duringthe pandemic. The band also discusses the challenge of navigating an evolving social scene.

Tuesday, 3/15  at 5 & 9 p.m. – Mood Ring, Ep.1 

Bring on the indie rock (or pop), the post-punk, the -waves the -gazes, and whatever new nonsense suffixes the fever dream hive brain of the internet coughs up in the coming years. Jakob McWhinney, host of Mood Ring, digs up great local music that has some sugar, and some edge, and serves it shaken, with the goal of keeping listeners asking themselves “wait…this artist is from San Diego??”

For fans of indie rock/pop, post-punk.

Thursday, 3/17 at 5 & 9 p.m. – CityChill, Ep. 1

CityChill pulls together an eclectic mix of music to create a vibe that can, at the risk of sounding cliche, best be described as chill.

Lo-fi, chillwave, trip-hop, ambient, experimental, downtempo only begins to describe what you might find on CityChill.
