MICROWORLDS is a musical talk show hosted by Rusty Santos. Guests from the underground and the overground alike discuss music, select songs, or perform live with a focus on psychedelia, including genres like indie pop, psychedelic pop, rave music, post-punk, progressive and glam rock, underground hip hop, and experimental music.

This month’s episode features special guest, Jackie Mendoza.

Born and raised in the border city of Chula Vista, California, Jackie Mendoza found inspiration from her motherland, Tijuana, Mexico to create a unique sound influenced by Latin pop music, folk, and electronic pop. She creates melodies that captivate the listener’s imagination with story-telling through sound design and narrative songwriting. Jackie uses voice and electric ukulele on a blend of electronic beats to bring to life a cacophony of sonic textures.
