Soundtracking is a podcast created by its host Edith Bowman, first airing August 5, 2016.[1] The Podcast is a conversation between Edith and a guest on music and film and its unique relationship. Established guests such as directors, actors, musicians, writers, composers, and music supervisors talk about their relationship with music both personally and professionally.[2]

Background[edit]

Bowman while as a BBC Radio show host introduced the concept as an occasional programme on BBC 6Music but was never fully supported by the station.[3] Bowman now puts the show together with a friend usually recording in hotel rooms, the guests house or from her own home via video calls.[4] The show since August 2016 has been put out almost biweekly bar a few instances.

Format[edit]

The show starts with a small introduction from Bowman explaining the concept of the podcast and introducing the episode's guest. Conversation ranges from the impact of the guest's chosen music on them personally, and on its role in their film or Television programme.[5][6] The chosen tracks are then played throughout the interview aiding conversation.

Guests have included a variety of actors including Warren Beatty, Bradley Cooper and Ewan McGregor. Film directors Quentin Tarantino,[7] Ron Howard, Peter Jackson, Guy Ritchie, Greta Gerwig.[4] Composers and Musicians that have been featured on the show include Isobel Waller-Bridge, Justin Hurwitz and Biffy Clyro.
