Summary: Today’s podcast was inspired by the BBC4 documentary Synth Britannia, which tells the story of a group of post-punk musicians from Britian who take the synthesizer from experimentation to pop stardom. It’s a fantastic documentary on the music, the artists as well as the economic climate of the UK during the late ‘70s. You can watch the film in its entirety courtesy of Documentary Storm.
