Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 1: From Church Piano to the NFL with Joshua Sutherland
Q: What challenges did you face when starting out, and how did you overcome them?
The biggest challenge was training my ear to assess what could work for a spot quickly, moving from perfectionist listening to evaluating builds and drops in a way that serves the scene and fits licensing constraints.
Ep 1: From Church Piano to the NFL with Joshua Sutherland
Q: Do you still have opportunities to create music for fun, or is it mostly licensing now?
Yes, I still compose and work with indie producers for projects, but I balance it with sound design and the licensing side, which keeps the craft alive without the same pressure as big projects.
Ep 1: From Church Piano to the NFL with Joshua Sutherland
Q: How did that Berklee prep program influence your path into the music industry?
It solidified my early music education and opened doors through structured programs, but I shifted toward sync after realizing the licensing side and real-world opportunities were where I could make an impact.
Ep 02: Inside the World of Trailer Music
Q: What made the Stranger Things campaign particularly special for you?
Watching the Running Up the Hill song come back into cultural relevance and then being able to trailerize it with a cinematic texture while preserving the nostalgic emotional impact was a standout experience, showing how trailer music can connect deeply with audiences and become a unifying campaign element.
Ep 02: Inside the World of Trailer Music
Q: What would you like listeners to know about projects behind the scenes that they wouldn't see from the outside?
There isn't a lot that can be disclosed about big projects, and the credits are mostly handled by the team; creatively, I was heavily involved with many productions and worked to keep the work true to the overall campaign, which often means maintaining a balance between leadership and collaboration across departments.
