This is a really cool angle for a film and TV podcast. Great guests with great insights every episode!
Fun show where soundtracks take the spotlight. The reasons the guests have for the soundtracks they’ve picked varies greatly and keeps it interesting, and Ryan is always a well informed host.
Ryan is such an amazing and engaging host! He really highlights everything you would want to know about the music and he has amazing guests! The latest episode What about David Byrne was so fun and I can’t wait to dive down the rabbit hole for more! Everyone needs this podcast in your life so you can find your soundtrack!
I love any reason to explore a movie in a new way and Soundtrack Your Life offers that. I listened to the Shrek episode and I really enjoyed how they broke down the first two movies. I completely agree with Ryan that Shrek is great!!
A celebration of pop culture and physical media, with hosts who are passionate and knowledgeable, facilitating an engaging conversation. Love how this show offers a snapshot of a prior era of media consumption while also examining current cultural moments, a really deep dive into iconic movies/music highlighting personal connections.
