I am the host of the podcast “The Baton: A John Williams Musical Journey,” which began on January 2. The podcast is devoted to John Williams’ music career, from his first film in 1959 to the present. Each episode will be devoted to one movie in Williams’ lengthy career, 107 films and counting. Think of it as a biography of John Williams, told through his music.
You can hear the first five episodes now at https://thebatonpodcast.podbean.com/. You can also subscribe on iTunes and Spotify.
Episode 1 sets up the premise of the podcast and details John Williams’ life before he tackled his first film score. Episode 2 officially starts the journey through his career with a listen to Williams’ score for his debut film “Daddy-O.” Episode 3 analyzes the score for his second film “I Passed For White.”
In Episode 4, John Williams returned to the teenybopper genre with "Because They're Young," which was trying hard to mimic "The Blackboard Jungle." Episode 5, out today, shows how John Williams creates good music for a bad film: "The Secret Ways."
This podcast will examine Williams’ career in chronological order. This way, you’ll appreciate the journey toward the scores that made him famous. Yes, I know this is similar to "The Goldsmith Odyssey" podcast, but I think we're generally approaching our subjects in a different way.
Though I hope my podcast appeals to the general public, I’m extremely interested to know what film music fans think of it. You can post comments here in the forums or on the podcast’s app. You can also send me an email at jeffswim@aol.com if you don’t want to comment publicly.
New episodes go live every Wednesday. Thanks for listening!

I've long wondered when/if someone would do this for Williams -- I'm so glad you've taken up the task!
