Great moments in TV and film are often punctuated and accentuated by the accompanying music not written for that piece of content. Think of the long-running and water-cooler popular The Sopranos on HBO. Season one, episode seven featured the song, White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane to depict the hopelessness of drug addiction. In the sixth and final season and last episode of the show, Don't Stop Believin' by Journey plays as the screen fades to black, and Tony Soprano’s fate is left up to our own imagination.
So if you're into music in TV or film, a new podcast --*IN SYNC -- is a podcast for anyone who loves a perfect on-screen needle-drop.
With their extensive experience in music and podcasting, cultural critic Rachel Brodsky and filmmaker/podcaster Aviv Rubinstien have joined forces to create the brand-new *IN SYNC Podcast.
A historiography celebrating your favorite music moments in TV and film, *IN SYNC looks at one great song-to-screen sync per episode and breaks down the cultural impact. The co-hosts are often joined by guests such as the music supervisors behind these highly memorable music moments.
On April 11, Gotham West Studios will launch the first episode centered around Sia’s “Breathe Me” closing out cult TV show, Six Feet Under. Combining the masterful storytelling and the emotional power of music, *IN SYNC is an episodic deep dive into music history and fandom.

Celebrate your favorite music moments in TV and film with this new podcast. How do you separate the music from the content? For instance, the Steppenwolf song Born To Be Wild will be forever tied to the 1969 counterculture film Easy Rider.
You don't. They're inexorably linked. Find out how and why on this upcoming podcast.
*IN SYNC launches on April 11 via Gotham West Studios. You can listen to the trailer and download the show now to your podcast feed.
How about Stuck In The Middle With You by Stealers Wheel in Quentin Tarantino's hit film Reservoir Dogs? Or Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield for The Exorcist. The possibilities are endless.
