This show has been a comfort for me since it was launched. It’s polished, well produced, and endlessly fascinating.

I recently figured out that I wanted to listen to a Podcast about Soundtracks. This was the first choice and I don‘t need to look further. The host has an amazingly captivating and thoughtful idea on how to tell the story and significance of Sound(tracks) in Movies. It goes way further than just telling you why a particular Soundtrack is great, without getting sidetracked. It is easy, fun and interesting listening. Keep it up!! (Sidenote: I can’t listen to most episodes and I don’t know why. The first seven and the last two seem fine. The rest aren’t playable, unfortunately.)
My new favourite

I'm not a musician. But I am a filmmaker who devours soundtracks as I write. This podcast is amazing at digging deep into the making of the iconic music that has shaped cinema for us over the decades. Truly great work!
