*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.
The
show launched April 11 via Gotham West Studios. The first episode
centers around Sia’s “Breathe Me” closing out cult TV show, Six Feet
Under followed by classic needle-drop moments in Do Revenge, Empire
Records, Wednesday, The Last Of Us and Cruel Intentions. Guests will
include music supervisors Rob Lowry, Gary Calamar and Thomas Golubic as
well as Jordan Ross Schindler, Creator of Cruel Intentions the Musical.
Each episode looks at one great song-to-screen sync and breaks down the cultural impact. With their extensive experience in music and podcasting, cultural critic Rachel Brodsky and filmmaker/podcaster Aviv Rubinstien have unveiled the first episode, centered around Sia’s “Breathe Me” closing out cult TV show, Six Feet Under.
Brodsky and Rubinstien are often joined by guests such as the music supervisors behind these highly memorable music moments. Initial guests include music supervisors Rob Lowry, Gary Calamar and Thomas Golubic as well as Jordan Ross Schindler, Creator of Cruel Intentions the Musical and That Thing You Do! actor Tom Everett Scott.
If the first episode is indicative of the quality of the season, this is a must-listen for music and TV fans. Brodsky and Rubinstien make a strong team, especially considering this is the first episode. They're both knowledgeable about music and media arts in general, and they mesh well conversationally. They don't talk over each other. Likewise, they listen well and respond, and they try to add to the flow of the show, not steal the spotlight.
Finally, the first episode laid out a simple yet effective format for the show. First, they review the history of the TV or film in which the music is sourced. In this premiere episode, it was Six Feet Under from HBO. The hosts carefully explained the plot, the story arc, and the history of the show. Then, they played the song --in this case, Breath Me -- and then discussed the artist (Sia) and her wild and peripatetic journey. Finally, the interview with the music supervisors is fascinating and informative.
Check out *IN SYNC. It's another in a long line of excellent music podcasts.
