Score: The Podcast

Really enjoying this podcast and have been binge-listening for the last month catching up. I enjoy the banter between the hosts and the guest list has been awesome. Lots of wonderful insights into the world of composing. Since I'm not on social media I'll plug for guests here. It would be great if you could interview Lesley Barber (Manchester By the Sea, Hysterical Blindness etc. and my personal favourite When Night is Falling). Also a Robert Kraft interview about his life and times would be great it sounds like he's "been there, done that"!

You played the wrong part of this piece of music. Mr. Williams used the theme from the Canadian Olympics from 1976 to lead into his Olympic theme and fanfare for 1984.

I am so close to enjoying this podcast, it seems to have a lot behind it, great guests and thoughtful discussions. But there is just way too much extra BS sprinkled throughout to hinder my enjoyment. Absolutely get rid of Name that Score, not useful, not funny, not entertaining.. that’s by far my least favourite part. I also wish that the banter off the top would be shortened or at least organized, like say 2 mins to preview the topics discussed, and then we are immediately in the interview. It completely takes away from the gravity of the interviews to say “after the break” when it’s you guys who decide the breaks... just let us listen to the composers and THEN do whatever else you want. With those changes I would become a regular listener and be happy to recommend to others.

There’s a lot of great things about this podcast, but I think to make it amazing you need longer interviews. I think getting rid of “Name That Score” and having less host banter off the top of the episodes in exchange for the longer interviews would be so much more welcome.
