The Soundtrack Surgeon
Welcome to The Soundtrack Surgeon: a new podcast about soundtracks and music supervision, hosted by aspiring music supervisor, Riley. The main idea of this podcast is to talk to music supervisors about their work and creative process, as well as to hear some of the stories about how specific projects came together. Other episodes will feature people adjacent to the job in the music and film industries, along with some family and friends along the way. Let's dissect some soundtracks!

Episode 4: Marc Medwin
Today's episode is a pretty special one for me because I got to talk to Marc Medwin, who just so happens to be one of my all time favorite people to have a conversation with. Medwin is a professor of music at American University, and I took "History of Rock" and "American Music and Politics of Protest" with him. We talked about his relationship with music as a blind man, how sound is used in film and television, the power behind silence, and Sesame Street.
