Gabe shows us that creators need to write and make the content that they themselves want to hear. https://starcalled.spaceNATE FISHER, OBSERVE AND REPORTNate Fisher composes epic music for the sci fi audio drama Observe and Report, which tells the story of an earthbound alien called Zuri. He shows us how limiting it can be creating from templates to avoid compositions from all sounding the same. https://www.observeandreportpodcast.com/RANDY GREER, THE CULLINGThe horror genre relies more than most on the interplay of tension and release. Composer for audio drama The Culling Randy Greer shares how the balance between them is required to make emotive music. https://www.randygreermusic.com/the-culling.htmlERIK JOURGENSEN, HEROICSHeroics is a comedy podcast about superheroes who pivot to become evil.
