I absolutely love the breadth of talent that is interviewed in this podcast! It’s just a shame that so many of the episodes are SO SHORT. They barely scratch the surface, and seem to end just as they’re getting interesting.
Speaking of ending abruptly, some of the episodes are poorly edited and end at the incorrect time (we’re talking mid-sentence of the interviewee speaking). What’s up with that?
I know some niches of music tend to male dominated, but they aren’t even trying to include an equal representation of women. The ad for this podcast that I saw on Hulu had zero women/non-binary featured. Gross.
After seeing promotions for this on Hulu, I decided to try an episode. I went to the only program I was familiar with - Only Murders in the Building - and was completely enthralled!

I love movie scores and I could listen to these composers talk about their inspiration for much longer than 4 or 5 minutes. I appreciate some have their full interviews released.
To the people hating on no women being on the podcast - did they miss Amanda Jones? Also there aren’t as many female composers in this space. It’s not like the podcast is excluding them on purpose.
Male only. Pass on this . Please include women. Could you not find a single female artist to feature?
