In a unique weekly podcast, Edith Bowman sits down with a variety of film directors, actors, producers and composers to talk about the music that inspired them and how they use music in their films, from their current release to key moments in their career. The music chosen by our guests is woven into the interview and used alongside clips from their films.
614: Isobel Waller-Bridge & Hania Rani In Conversation (Live At Soho House)
Jun 29, 2026
Show notes
Our latest guests on Soundtracking are composers Isobel Waller-Bridge and Hania Rani, who joined Edith in conversation at a very special event organised by Dirty Soup Music, live at Soho House in London. A previous guest on the show, Isobel is responsible for scoring the likes of Emma, The Phantom Of The Open and Wicked Little Letters. Hania, meanwhile, topically provided British broadcaster ITV with their theme music for the England men's football team, and won the European Film Award for Best Composer for her score for Sentimental Value. Speaking of which, you can check out my chat with the direct and star of that film, Joachim Trier and Stellan Skarsgaard respectively, at edithbowman.com

Our latest guest on Soundtracking - and boy have we had some crackers recently - is none other than Jodie Foster, who joins us to discuss her starring role in psychological thriller, A Private Life. Speaking French (it's a French film), Jodie plays a renowned psychiatrist who launches a private investigation into the suicide of one of her patients, who she believes was murdered.
We also discuss Bugsy Malone, Taxi Driver and Silence Of The Lambs.
612: Andrew Stanton & Lindsey Collins On The Music Of Toy Story 5
Jun 20, 2026
Show notes
We have a couple of Pixar legends for you on our latest episode of Soundtracking. We're thrilled to welcome writer / director Andrew Stanton and producer Lindsay Collins to the podcast on the much-anticipated release of Toy Story 5. Toy Story 5 has the band back together but facing an existential threat as Bonnie's interest in them wanes as she is introduced to technology. In a beautiful stroke of creative circularity, Toy Story 5 is scored by Randy Newman, who also provided the music for the first film.
611: Finneas O'Connell On The Music Of Beef 2, Bond & Barbie
Jun 17, 2026
Show notes
Slightly later than billed, our latest episode sees a welcome return to Soundtacking to the utterly charming Finneas O'Connell, who joins us to discuss his score for Beef 2. We've already spoken to Sonny Lee, creator and showrunner of the hugely acclaimed and successful Netflix show, so please do listen to that if you haven't already. But it's always such a joy to take a deep musical dive with Finneas, who speaks so eloquently about his craft. We get into Bond and Barbie too!

Jun 15, 2026
Show notes
In a last minute change of plan, our latest guests on Soundtracking are Daniel Pemberton and Brian May, who join us to discuss their musical collaboration on Masters Of The Universe. Based on the classic cartoon, Masters Of The Universe tells the story of Adam, who returns to his home planet of Eternia to take his destiny as He-Man and confront his nemesis Skeletor.
This is a fascinating insight into Daniel and Brian's process, not to be missed by score enthusiasts.

This is the first of our events in partnership with Range Rover, a brand synonymous with mastery in all its forms, championing those who push boundaries, define standards and create enduring impact. Both Soundtracking and Everyman align naturally with Range Rover’s core principles relating to leadership, cultural authority and creative excellence, so we're absolutely thrilled they have chosen to support our podcast, which was recorded live in front of an audience following a screening of Kristin's film.

May 22, 2026
Show notes
Our latest guest on Soundtracking is, as Edith mentions at the start of our chat, someone we owe a huge debt of gratitude to. For the impossibly likeable Jon Favreau was the very first guest she interviewed for the podcast, literally a decade ago! Back then, Jon discussed his take on The Jungle Book; today, he is with us to talk through the music of The Mandolorian & Grogu, which is scored by friend of the show, Ludwig Goransson
