Amazing !!!!

Such a great podcast. Matt’s line of questioning give so much insight into the world of composers and what the industry is truly like.

Tricotene ,

Impressive! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’m very creative and artistic but not musically inclined so I am very impressed by those who have the talent to compose music. On that note, I think “Composer Talk” was really fun and fascinating and Matthew does a terrific podcast!
