Customer Reviews
Entertaining and enlightening
My only complaint about this fine podcast is that it doesn't come out often enough. In addition to being an excellent musician, Ben Model is thoughtful and analytical about what makes a good silent film score. It's great fun to listen to and I learn a little something new every time. Highly recommended.
