This week “The Knight Life,” will feature the podcasts from hosts Chad Francis and Victor Ortiz Jr..

IndieCC: More people than ever before are ditching legacy mainstream media for content made and distributed directly by creators online. Host Chad Francis talks to one of those creators who used to intern for the iconic East Coast radio station, WYSP. Matt, the creator of the podcast “Your Worst Friend” speaks about his days interning for WYSP, what drove him to produce a weekly podcast with his best friend from high school, and why many people prefer indie productions over corporate media.

House of Music: Victor Ortiz, Jr. and Susana Serrano sit down and speak candidly with Chris Springer, a San Diego City College alumni and founder of San Diego’s “The House of Music.” 

The podcast explores  Springer’s reasons for creating the nonprofit organization and how it uses salsa music as an outreach to underprivileged, unsheltered and at risk youth in San Diego. 

Tuesday, 4/19 at 5 & 9 p.m– Radio Static (Re-run)

Curating experimental music from the San Diego/Tijuana region, host Philip Salata, brings us an hour of local sounds that disintegrate, crash, burn, harmonize, vibrate, and subvert. Radio Static highlights the work of artists who rethink conventions in music making. Listen-in to be immersed in devised sound explorations or instrumental improvisations. You might hear the sound of tectonic plates converging, or a duet for viola and salt, sounds electronic and analog, lost and found.
