Lessons With Marcel presents a fully animated sci-fi romp around outerspace with a 1930’s cartoon aesthetic! Marcel Ardans is joined by Hayes Griffin and whatever special guests they find while exploring the Appalachian Supercluster in this genre bending bluegrass podcast. Standby for a new transmission!

Meet The Crew

Marcel

Marcel, the namesake of Podcast With Marcel, is the assumed pilot of the Anteek. Once fisherman for the Monroe Corp., he is now a bluegrasstronaut turned runaway space bandit.

Hayes

Hayes, the co-host of Podcast With Marcel, is the engineer aboard the ship. Once fisherman for the Monroe Corp., he is now a bluegrasstronaut turned runaway space bandit.

J.D.

JD is a bartender bot that Marcel introduced to Hayes. He helped Hayes and Marcel steal a Monroe Corporation fishing vessel to escape Titan and travel the Appalachian Supercluster.

Anteek

Anteek is the loose-cannon sentient computer aboard the ship. Anteek was dormant until recently due to the boys never watching the orientation VHS for the ship.

In this transmission we discuss how hippies almost saved bluegrass during the folk revival. Hayes shares his Robert Plant story and we discuss modal fiddle tunes that are out of this world. Don’t miss this cosmic collision of bluegrass and space!

In this transmission, we hitch a ride aboard a passing space train where the fearless Daniel Patrick steers us into the orbit of his new mandolin album. Among the twinkling stars, Patrick shares tales of the all-star mandolinists who joined him and his travels across the galactic super highway. Join us as we journey through Daniel’s celestial jam session, where tradition meets innovation on a cosmic scale!
