    I’ve been wanting to listen, but it’s difficult without a simple direct link to download the MP3 file. The embedded player only works when my phone screen is turned on and I tried to get it through iTunes a process of hoop jumping that ended when they insisted I supply them with a credit card number.

      I apologize for all the issues you are having playing the show. There are other options. Google Play is one of them.

    This re-recording is excellent. Will episodes two and three also be re-recorded? This documentary series is perhaps my favorite three episodes of Cinematic Sound Radio ever. Any chance of Jason Drury taking something like this up for Miklos Rozca (spelling?), Jerry Goldsmith, Elmer Bernstein, John Barry, or Henry Mancini?

    An overwhelmingly satisfying & outstanding three part series on James Horner. It was a pleasure to experience his career as it took off, but was even more heart felt at its sudden & tragic end. You’ve done him proud & applaud your work.

      Thank you for taking the journey, David. This is Jason’s magnum opus and I’m super proud of him for putting this all together on his own! I couldn’t have wished for a greater result from one of his first efforts for CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO!
