    Episode #134
    The music supervisor in episode #134 makes it sound like the music and hands we see playing in the film are those of the 2 lead actresses. I know that all of the close up hand shots and prerecord music were recorded by a session pianist. Why is no credit given to the actual musicians in the films credits? I find that musical talent often get snubbed in the movie biz. Sad. Love the podcast. Keep up the great work.

    Informative and Intertaining
    These guys really know their stuff. It's great to have people who have had great success in the industry share their knowlege... esp for artist as we tend to focus mainly on the craft and are sometimes totally clueless how to navigate the business side once we have a product when first starting out.
