First of all, thanks to everyone who took the time to vote for the show at the Discover Pods Awards. I'm not sure when the winners will be announced but I really do appreciate the support!
Secondly, the website migration is now complete and seems to have gone smoothly. If you find any issues with the site, please let me know.
And with that, we can now present our first show of the new year!
TALKING SOUNDTRACKS: THE MUSIC OF JOHNNY DOUGLAS
https://www.cinematicsound.net/talking-soundtracks-the-music-of-johnny-douglas/
On September 10th, 2024, the music from the Marvel Animated series DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS was released by Dulcima Records on 10th September, exactly 40 years after the show premiered in the UK.
The show’s music was written by British composer Johnny Douglas, who, in addition to having a diverse career in film and television, was the composer of music for Marvel’s animated series in the 1980s, which included SPIDER-MAN, SPIDER-MAN AND HIS AMAZING FRIENDS, THE INCREDIBLE HULK, G.I. JOE, and TRANSFORMERS. His filmography includes the classic 1965 sci-fi adventure CRACK IN THE WORLD and the British children’s classic THE RAILWAY CHILDREN.
Louise Camby, Johnny Douglas’ granddaughter, is currently researching a book on his life and career called TRACKS TO MY GRANDFATHER’S SUCCESS, and in October 2024 she spoke with Jason Drury about her grandfather’s life and work, how the book was coming along, and how, by chance, she discovered music from DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS in Johnny Douglas’ archives.
During the show, we’ll hear music from DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS, as well as other music from Johnny Douglas’ career.
Enjoy.

THE ARCHIVE WITH JASON DRURY: EPISODE 46 – SPAGHETTI WESTERNS
https://www.cinematicsound.net/the-archive-jason-drury-episode-46-spaghetti-westerns/
'Where life had no value, and death sometimes had its price. That is why bounty hunters appeared.’
For decades, the Italian, or Spaghetti Western, has entertained and thrilled cinema audiences all over the world. Its distinct style, as well as its inventive musical scores, has influenced and inspired actors, filmmakers, and composers. It is a genre that is still enjoyed today by many. This unusual but entertaining ensemble of films influenced not just the western film as we knew it, but also had a lasting effect on many other movies. Some of which were produced long after Italian westerns had ridden off into the proverbial sunset of cinema history.
On today’s episode, join Jason Drury Jason Drury and special guest Italian Western music expert Jon Mansell as they uncover the musical delights of this quirky but important collection of sagebrush sagas. The unique musical sounds crafted by the composers you will hear go largely unnoticed and underappreciated today.
Enjoy!
John Mansell’s book, ITALIAN WESTERN: VIOLENT IMAGE, SAVAGE SOUNDTRACK – THE MUSIC OF SPAGHETTI WESTERNS, is available now on Amazon. https://a.co/d/1y075v9

Better late than never...
THE FLAGSHIP SHOW: FAVOURITE SCORES OF 2024 – PART 2
https://www.cinematicsound.net/the-flag-ship-show-favourite-scores-of-2024-part-2/
If you think traditional film scores are dead, I strongly advise you to listen to this program and then let me know if you still feel that way. 
In today’s new episode of THE FLAGSHIP SHOW on CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO PODCAST, Erik Woods continues his presentation of some of his favourite scores written in 2024. This is the final part of a two-part series. Today, you’ll hear selections by such composers as Bear McCreary, Kris Bowers, Amilea Warner, Robin Hoffman, Stuart Hancock, and Raphaël Dargent. As with the first part, instead of a traditional countdown, Erik will be presenting the scores in alphabetical order by title and will unveil his favourite score of 2024 at the end of this episode.
Enjoy!

NEW SHOW | FRIDAY PLAYLIST: SWORD AND SORCERY
https://www.cinematicsound.net/friday-playlist-sword-and-sorcery/
Welcome to the first-ever FREE edition of the FRIDAY PLAYLIST.
Back in August of 2024, as a way to quickly produce some new content while I worked on the main podcast program, I came up with a weekly segment, exclusive to Patreon, called THE CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO FRIDAY PLAYLIST. Basically, this was to be a revival of my old school Film Music Mix programs, where I played a variety of unrelated cues with commentary.
Many of the FRIDAY PLAYLIST episodes feature a 7-10 minute opening commentary about what I was going to play, and then you could sit back and listen to an hour of uninterrupted film music curated by yours truly, as well as members of the Patreon. And in case I couldn’t put on a show, other hosts of CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO would step in for me.
It was so successful that I spent the vast majority of my podcasting time producing FRIDAY PLAYLIST and, unfortunately, neglecting the main feed. So, I decided to come up with a compromise.
Every month, I will attempt to produce two FRIDAY PLAYLIST shows (or other themed programs) a month for the main feed and two shows a month that will live behind the paywall. Those Patreon-exclusive playlists will feature far more interesting cues from hard-to-find scores and commercially unreleased music. If you want to hear those programs, then please head over to OUR PATREON and sign up.
Ok, with that out of the way, please enjoy today’s episode dedicated to SWORD AND SORCERY films. You’ll hear selections from HERCULES (Velazquez), HUNDRA (Morricone), BEOWULF (Silvestri), KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE (Rozsa), THE MISTS OF AVALON (Holdridge), THE SWORD AND THE SORCERER (Whitaker) and HERCULES: THE LEGENDARY JOURNEY (LoDuca).
Enjoy!

THE FLAGSHIP SHOW - FILM SCORE MONTHY'S 35th ANNIVERSARY
https://www.cinematicsound.net/the-flag-ship-show-film-score-monthlys-35th-anniversary/
Welcome to Cinematic Sound Radio’s celebration of the 35th anniversary of Film Score Monthly.
In 1990, a young film music fan named Lukas Kendall began what was to become Film Score Monthly with a Xeroxed newsletter sent to a handful of fans who signed up to receive the snail mail newsletter. From there, the newsletter turned into one of the biggest soundtrack publications in the world. The magazine’s run ended in 2005 at 150 issues. It ceased printing due to budgetary reasons. The magazine, however, still lives on in the digital world as FSM On-Line.
A byproduct of the magazine was a record label, which began in 1998 with the release of Jerry Goldsmith’s STAGECOACH / THE LONER. Lukas would go on to produce 250 FSM CDs, many of them long-sought-after “holy grails.” The label would cease production in 2013.
The website and popular message board are still running, but are in desperate need of updating. That’s where you come in.
Lukas is currently raising money on Kickstarter to help fund a brand-new website, message board, book, CD and more! As of the release of this episode on June 20th, 2025, the Kickstarter has reached its initial goal of $25,000 and is currently in its stretch run to raise an additional $25,000. If you’ve already pledged, thank you, but if you haven’t, then please head over to the Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/skyfighter/film-score-monthlys-35th-anniversary-website-and-projects) and donate what you can to help keep this film music institution running smoothly for the next 35 years!
To celebrate FSM’s 35th anniversary, I’m going to play for you my top five favourite Film Score Monthly CDs of all time, featuring the music of Franz Waxman, Bronislau Kaper, Johnny Green, Stu Phillips, Elmer Bernstein, Alexander Courage and Jerry Goldsmith.
Enjoy!
