Composer Mark Phillips - SERIAL Podcast

This week we spoke with Composer Mark Henry Phillips, who is responsible for the music and audio mix for the extremely popular podcast series Serial. Serial is produced by WBEZ Chicago and the shows Host and Executive Producer Sarah Koenig unfolds one nonfiction story, week by week, over the course of a season. We discuss with Mark how he became involved in this project and the incredibly tight production window he has to score and mix each hour long episode the night before it’s posted each week. This is an incredible example of a creative team who know exactly how to pull in an audience and make them listen a little bit closer. So close in fact that you can almost see yourself at the scene of the crime.
