“Disney For Scores is a premier podcast on the subject of movie scores and those that write them. If you’re at all interested in either subject, you can’t do much better than this. I just hope it continues to add new content. I love the John Williams episode!”

“I never studied music(beyond 3 years of piano and HS band)but I love hearing about creating music. First it gives me a better appreciation of the music scores and how they affect how we feel during a movie and second it fills me with awe as to the talent of everyone who pursues this craft.”
