27. Michele Kaufman - My Movie DNA
Listen now
Description
In episode 27, Johnny talks to Michele Kaufman, one half of the team behind Enjoy The Ride Records. Michele works alongside label founder Ross Shotland at Enjoy The Ride in Long Island, New York. The label specialises in releases in a variety of genres and formats - movie soundtracks, TV soundtracks, video game soundtracks, and stand-up comedy, all on Vinyl, CD, cassettes, Blu-Ray, and a range of other associated merch.  Johnny's talk with Michele covers Ron Howard, Sofia Coppola, Robin Williams and Pierce Brosnan, they talk about Michele’s recent trip to Hawaii to see Michael Giacchino conducting the 20th anniversary concert for the TV show Lost, and we hear yet another example of somebody finding their career through a strange set of circumstances (the third or fourth such example we’ve heard on this very show this year)... This conversation was recorded online in mid-May 2024. You can find the Songs, Bond Songs release we spoke about here on the Enjoy The Ride website. Thanks to James Van As who wrote and performed the brilliant podcast music (check out James' ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Loco Looper⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ game) and to Willow Van As who designed the amazing artwork and provided general podcast support.   You can contact My Movie DNA on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter @mymovieDNA or email [email protected].
