Settling the Score

- Wonderful! (And, a model podcast!)

United States3 months ago - Best Soundtrack Podcast, without question
The Settling the Score guys have the best combination of passion, knowledge, and dry humor to accompany and encourage my lifelong love of film music.

Thank goodness for podcasts … the fact there is a forum for practically anything is one thing. But combine that with creators that know and can impart details that are so specific like the subject matter here. Priceless. And fun.
