We feature music from the golden age classic scores of the 30, 40 and 50s, the retro silver age scores from the 60s and 70s, all the way through to the 80s, 90s and the modern-day classics of the 21st century.

When tuning in you'll hear interviews with composers, orchestrators, musicians, authors, soundtrack experts and industry insiders. We also do deeper dives into some of the best scores ever composed. And, of course, you'll hear LOTS of great music.

We feature 10 unique shows exploring one of the most underappreciated art forms by people who are passionate about the art form. We hope you enjoy the programming as much as we do producing them.

    The Flagship Show: A Chat With Patreon Member Steve Karpicz

    The Flagship Show: A Chat With Patreon Member Steve Karpicz

    Today we present part one of a brand new chat between host Erik Woods and Patreon member Steve Kapicz on THE FLAGSHIP SHOW on the CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO PODCAST.


    Steve is one of three CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO PODCAST patrons who signed up for the exclusive top COMPOSER TIER at the CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO PODCAST Patreon. He took advantage of the tier's exclusive perk to co-host a program with Erik Woods and play whatever music he wanted. As with Joe Wiles' episodes, and William Welch's episodes, Steve and Erik talked for a considerable time, so the show has been split into two parts.


    During this episode, William and Erik talk about choral scores, among other things. During the show, you will hear selections from FIRST KNIGHT (Goldsmith), THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER (Poledouris), THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS (Davis), and EVIL DEAD (Banos).


    I hope you enjoy the show.

    The Archive with Jason Drury: A Tribute To Mike Ross-Trevor

    The Archive with Jason Drury: A Tribute To Mike Ross-Trevor

    On Tuesday, January 2, 2024, the film music community lost one of its greatest recording engineers, Mike Ross-Trevor. His collaborations with composers such as Jerry Goldsmith and Bruce Broughton have become legendary in the film music world.


    Jason Drury had the pleasure of speaking with Mike in February 2018 for the CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO PODCAST. The two show shows can be heard at cinematicsound.net


    It was with great sadness that Jason learned of Mike's passing since he had many happy recollections of their interview and Mike has remained a close friend.


    So, Jason decided to produce a new program by utilizing remastered interview clips from 2018 and by playing some of the fantastic music that Mike was associated with. To give the program a distinct and intimate feel, Mike Ross-Trevor will be the only voice heard throughout, narrating his own recording career and sharing a few memories of the amazing sessions he worked on.


    Enjoy!

    The Flagship Show: 2023 Christmas Special

    The Flagship Show: 2023 Christmas Special

    In today's program, it's our 2023 CHRISTMAS SPECIAL. We've been putting this show together annually since 2018.


    Before we begin, I want to personally offer my thanks to the great team here at the CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO PODCAST. Fourty-five new shows, including this one, went out this year, not including any new shows that go up until the end of the year.


    We passed the 500,000 downloads mark and we are 45,000 downloads away from 600,000 all time.


    We made it back to FM radio, albeit briefly. If I can remember correctly, only one episode went on the air at BUTE ISLAND RADIO before the s__t the fan! I’m hoping to get back on the FM dial sometime in 2024. I think that’s where the show ultimately belongs—at least a show with this format—so I just need to find a place that wants me.


    We've been ranking in the top 200 all over the world. Today we are #6 in Cyprus. Thanks to all of our listeners in Cyprus!


    The point is, people are still listening and I owe much of our success to ... Jason Drury, Eric Silver, J. Blake Fichera, Robert Daniels, Randy Andrew, the voice of CSR Tim Burden, in-house composer David Coscina, and Ley Bricknell.


    And of course, I cannot forget you... the listener... thank you very much for spending some time with us today!


    So let's get into the program, and as we did over the past SIX years, this show is a collaborative effort. Each participating host will get a segment of their own on the program to play whatever festival score they see fit.


    On today's program, four CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO PODCAST hosts join me again to celebrate the holiday season by playing Christmas-themed music from a wide variety of film, TV and video game scores. Join Jason Drury from THE ARCHIVE & TALKING SOUNDTRACKS, J. Blake Fichera from SCORED TO DEATH RADIO, Randy Andrews from THE ANIME SPECTACULAR & THE ESSENTIAL SOUNDTRACKS, Eric Silver from THE 1UPBEAT,  and me, Erik Woods, for our annual Yuletide spectacular.


    On the show today, you are going to hear selections from DEN FØRSTE JULEN I SKOMAKERGATA aka CHRISTMAS IN COBBLER STREET (Storaas), HOOK (Williams), ROCKY IV (Dicola), PREP AND LANDING (Giacchino), HOGWART'S LEGACY (Rakozy) and a special gift at the end of the show.


    Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

Great podcast

I recently discovered the Cinematic Sound Radio podcast, and while I’m happy to have found it, I’m disappointed I did not do so sooner!

I recently re-listened to Melodic Treks podcast with Brandon Shea-Mutala and Erik’s debate over which Goldsmith Trek score was better (First Contact or Nemesis - agree with FC though I love Insurrection as well) so that’s how I discovered this show.

What a wonderful podcast! I’ve listened to a few of the shows so far and I am currently listening to tribute to Basil Poledouris. Each show that I have listened to is filled with beautiful cinematic scores, excellent information about each piece & composer, trivia about why the composer did or did not create the piece, and excellent intro’s/outro’s for each segment.

I mean this in the greatest compliment, Erik’s show & coal stylings sound like CBC Radio Two classical music shows that I listened to growing up. I enjoy movie scores and believe that they are the classical music of our times. Thank you and Bravo!

I look forward to starting from the beginning and catching up. 5/5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mr Safety ,

Really great podcast

For me, music is my favorite part of most movies and the thing I remember long after I have seen the film. Cinematic Sound Radio brings some of the BEST music from TV, cinema, and video games directly to you every week in a high quality audio podcast. I really have no reason not to recommend this podcast to music lovers of all stripes; particularly those of us who often enjoy the music as much, if not more than, the movies that feature them. 5/5

My favourite show bar none

This is my favourite podcast in a long list of subscriptions and by a fair margin. Erik’s insights and selections are brilliant.

I just listened to your heart to heart episode, Erik, and I felt really convicted about the fact that I hadn’t reviewed the show yet. Your work on this show means a great deal to me and it’s played a big part in lifting me out of some dark places. I want you to know that whatever the future holds for CSR, that this show and your work on it holds a really special place in my heart.

Thank you
