  • In-depth but not rambling

    I really enjoy this podcast. The interviewer really gets the creative process and asks great questions. The composers are world class and so articulate about their practice. It does not get formulaic even though they’re all doing essentially the same thing (writing a piece on the same deadline). Keep up the great work!
