A Score to Settle Podcast - Episode 8, Guest Ben Wise, composer and musician

I'm happy to share the next new episode of my podcast! In this episode, I talk with composer and musician Ben Wise. Ben writes, records and performs both with the indie/folk band TINY Goliath and as a solo artist. In the early 2000's, he began a career scoring commercials (i.e. "jingle writer"), a move which then grew to include web series, animated shorts and short films, including winning awards for the latter. We talk about his musical background, pop music, commercial jingles and film music. Contact Ben on Twitter and Instagram at @benwise and on Facebook at facebook/benwisemusic. The band TINY Goliath can be found at tinygoliath.bandcamp.com.

As always, I hope everyone who listens enjoys this episode and forgives any technical and verbal gaffes I might make. I should mention that there were some microphone issues during the interview, so the sound quality isn't always up to par here. Below is the embedded player from which you can listen to the episode, but also feel free to download the episode from iTunes (search their podcast store for "a score to settle"), check out the link from the Facebook page or click on the website link below the player, which should take you directly to where the episode is being hosted. If you do listen via iTunes, take a moment to rate the podcast, it will help bring notice. Thanks again!
