- Great show and an idea for all listeners
This is an amazing show even though I have only heard the first three episodes.
A quick idea is that you listeners should listen to Art of the Score, but I should warn you, it is full of humour that is not funny…
Anyways, this show is very interesting and thanks to the host David W. Collins.
It’s informative, interesting, and entertaining.
Thank you.
PS remember Journey from episode 3, Great Melodies Tell Great Stories, Art of the Score did an-2 hour long-episode on that…

Australia16 days ago - Story through music
I am an illustrator in a family of musicians, but the thing we all have in common is our love of a good story. I love how the host takes us through the stories of all these scores! Though I tell stories through comic books, I love hearing about how composers tell stories through music! 💖

If you’re looking for the above qualities, look no further. This show is truly a gem among all the podcasts out there. Unlike many shows that are just people talking to each other, the care and editing that David W Collins puts into the show is inspiring. I love music, but this show helps put words into why a theme or motif captures the heart. Thank you David, and I hope you continue to make this amazing show!
