llyrwanderer ,

Fabulous!

I just discovered this podcast and it is sooooo good! I have been a movie score fan since I was a kid and I love the way the hosts explore a composer’s collected works through themes or styles they embrace. It is different from other movie score podcasts in that it doesn’t deep dive any one score and so, I believe it slots very well into this genre of podcasts and offers a different perspective. I hope that it continues for years to come!
