Hello. How you doing? It's Friday. I know what you're thinking. Hold on. New episodes of soundtrack

normally coming on Monday. Not when we're this busy. It's just been lovely. It's so nice.

There's so many people around. Thank you so much to Ben for jumping in and doing more work than is necessary.

I really, really appreciate it.

Also really appreciate you guys getting in touch.

Yeah, some emails.

If you do want to get in touch,

then please do the email address is info at edithbowman.com.

And it's really nice.

Just lots of kind of random little bits of emails coming in about, I mean, lots of you musicians, to be honest.

Like, for example, Tim, who is a composer and trumpet player, who works in games, film and music.

And yeah, in Berlin, thank you so much.

It's lovely just also here on where you are listening from. Christopher, who emailed to say, hi, Edith, I'm a massive fan of soundtracking. I've been listening since the very start, a truly brilliant podcast with a real love of film music, which is my favourite thing. Thank you, Christopher. I just wanted to ask if there is ever going to be a soundtrack

an episode with a legend that is Thomas Newman. I know you've talked with many about his music,

but we'd love to hear him in conversation with you. Christopher, it is not from a want of trying.

Thomas Newman was in fact the composer on the film that we're talking about with today's guest.

That's so funny.

Thursday Murder Club.

So I did put in a request around that and I'm constantly putting in a request around films that he is involved in.

Maybe what I need to do is just reach out in between films, so on downtime.

So it's not when he's busy promoting the film.

But Christopher, there is a huge want to have Thomas on the show, his brother's been on.
