Highly recommended podcast for anyone who loves film scores or music in general. The host is a sound designer & editor for Skywalker Sound, has done extensive sound work for Lucasfilm and Lucasarts games, and is also a prolific voice actor appearing in dozens of animated series and video games. He brings his sonic expertise to bear in analyzing the great scores of cinema and other media, from Jaws to Tron to Super Mario Bros. & Zelda. It's an incredibly well-produced show that sounds great and will always leave you feeling enriched and entertained.

In these two latest episodes, he takes a great deep dive into the music of Star Trek, the original series. It's a detailed look at an underappreciated aspect of the franchise, with archive interviews from people like Nimoy and Roddenberry, many many sound clips, and lots of insightful commentary.

One fun tidbit from this episode: Alexander Courage himself made the sound of the Enterprise whooshing past during the opening credits.
