    In this run-up to the 96th Academy Awards, we are delighted to share this conversation with nominee for best original score, Laura Karpman. Karpman's score for American Fiction, which has five nominations, gently twirls in and out of what is quietly one of the best films of 2023. It showcases a different side of Karpman than the grand-scale Marvel projects for which she's known.

Great guests, questions could use some work

I love listening to composers talk about their work. But honestly, I feel like questions like “how do you celebrate the end of a job?” And “were you aware of the enormity of the role you were stepping into” are bound to have uninteresting answers. This is presumably a podcast for fellow composers, how about questions like:

“How did you get your first gig? Who took a chance on you?”
“What’s the best way to cut through?”
“What are your favorite pieces of software and what is the combination of real versus VST in this or that score?”

Get into the details! You have access to these very successful people. They’ve been flattered more than enough, let’s actually learn from them! Thanks for doing this podcast :)

Talk Radio Vibe

I realize the podcast format is usually talking, etc … yet this feels like memories of the old school talk radio interviews I remember hearing in my earlier years (for me this is a good thing)
I adore the episodes - really liked the Breaking Bad composer
So glad I checked this out
