Star Trek the Original Series - the Music (Part II)
Before making it to air, Star Trek had not one, but two pilots scored by Alexander Courage. Once the first season finally went into production, it took five composers to pull it off. This episode explores the musical, financial and creative realities of 1960s television music production, as we discuss the scores for these two pilots, and the creation of some of the show's musical sound effects. We are also introduced to season one's other four composers.

Customer Reviews
Are you okay
Loved this podcast. It renewed a love of music that I hadn’t realized I had lost.
David W. Collins, are you okay?
We haven’t heard anything for many long months…
I love this but where did the host go?
I love this but where did the host disappear to? I would like to hear about the music of Gunga Din - as a child this was the first film in which I realized the storytelling power of a music soundtrack
Couldn’t stop listening
I found this podcast just after the Zelda music episodes were released… I am now today (August 1 2021) all caught up and waiting for new episode. Such a great podcast, such great soundtracks!!! Only wish iHeartRadio either cooled it with the commercials, or had more so it wasn’t the same ad.
Hoping to hear more soon, a humble suggestion from a fan; look into more video games as they have amazing soundtracks!
Thank you so much for putting this show on!
