This week, we are proud to share stories from the students in the audio program at UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism. These pieces were produced during the 2023 - 2024 school year.
In this episode, we’ll hear three stories about California musical acts that are breaking rules and new ground.
- Bella Arnold tries to make sense of Mac Sabbath, a band that’s a wild mashup of McDonald’s characters and Black Sabbath
- Holly Burns catches up with a local musician who started playing on the streets nearly 50 years ago — and is still charming audiences throughout the Bay Area
Melanie Velasquez introduces Seref Ha'Qol, the saxophonist of Uncle Chris, a San Francisco-based alternative-indie-jazz band that may be on the cusp of stardom
