    In Memoriam: Mark Snow (1946-2025)
    Jul 8 2025
    The Truth is in Here... Welcome back to THE X-CAST: AN X-FILES PODCAST as we pause coverage of Season 11 to honour the passing of The X-Files composer, Mark Snow. Back in 2017, Tony Black and guest Brandon Shea-Mutala (who helped arrange the interview) spoke with Mark about the show, his career, music and beyond. As we remember Mark's amazing musical legacy, let's hear again from the man himself. We offer our sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Mark Snow at this difficult time.
