  • A must listen for anyone into Sync!

    Roy has done a FANTASTIC job curating guests with great insight into a part of the music industry that is often perceived as being an insiders club. Have the accessibility to these conversations makes it seem way less intimidating to break into the sync arena. These are down to earth conversations and in a day and age where everybody is “influencing” it does not feel transactional.

    Great to put on in the car or wherever you have some down time but also want to keep your eye on the prize.

  • Essential Listening for Aspiring Sync Producers

    I LOVE this show. Roy does a fantastic job getting a variety of professionals who are killing it in the sync industry to sit down, talk shop, and spill so many pointers about getting into writing for sync licensing. On top of that, the conversations are organic, never contrived, and even get into topics outside of music like mental/spiritual health. Like I said, it gets real!

    In short, this podcast is rad. Subscribe, soak it in, and learn to kill it from folks doing it for real.
