On the first special episode of Track Swap, host Lasse Vogt is introducing the symphonic album AMERICANA, composed and orchestrated by Marcel Barsotti and available on pretty much every streaming platform out there. You can purchase it from October 18th, 2021 on – so, basically right now! Don’t hesitate and give it a listen.
Are you ready to be scared? Then look no further, because Track Swap has got you covered! Rob Rawdon returns to the show to kick off the Halloween season. He has brought a truly terrifying score with him and Lasse tries his best to compete. Take a listen… if you dare!
After some delays, Erik Woods from The Cinematic Sound Radio Podcast finally joins Lasse as a guest on Track Swap. Brace yourselves, since this music will probably make you cry. One movie is about a terribly tragic true story, the other is a coming-of-age adventure about friendship. Big thanks to these talented composers, who delivered absolutely wonderful scores.
What happens when guest Cole McLeod brings the score of a Spaghetti Western and host Lasse Vogt chooses the music of an Oddball-Fantasy-Action-Horror Comedy? Easy: Fun happens! Join us and listen to Track Swap: Episode 6!
Rob Rawdon is Lasse’s guest on Track Swap this time. Beware, because this is an episode with quite emotional music. Today’s movies are about a dying vampire and the dark adventures of puppets. Ready to be moved? Then join us and listen.
Jamie from Radio Free Endor and GhostheadsUK joins Lasse on the fifth episode of Track Swap. Today, things get mysterious and even a little spooky, as they talk about fairies and ghosts, which are also featured in the scores they picked! Sit back and listen . . . if you dare!
This time, Josh from Film Score And More is Lasse’s guest on Track Swap. Both of their tracks have a lot in common: huge orchestrations, a ton of fun… and flying! Wanna figure out which scores they belong to? Then join the two and listen!

Austin Shinn joins host Lasse Vogt for the second episode of Track Swap! This time, the subject matter is scores for comic book movies, one from America and one from France. What do they have in common besides great music? Superpowers…
Welcome to Episode 1 of our brand new show, Track Swap! In this series, your host Lasse Vogt will be joined by a new co-host each and every episode. The premise is simple: Each host shares a maximum of two tracks with the other host, and both talk about them at length. In this pilot episode, Lasse is joined by Sideshow co-founder Will Dodson. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this new series, hosted by your favourite neighborhood German guy!

Welcome to Sideshow Sound Radio’s tribute to and celebration of the life of Ian Crabb.
Will and Todd showcase a compilation of many of Ian’s greatest moments at Sideshow including many laughs, fond memories, great music, and words of remembrance from our friends, colleagues, and dear listeners.
Ian always worked harder for our podcast than anyone, especially at a time when the rest of us couldn’t give our time so freely. There wasn’t a week that went by when Ian didn’t have some amaaazing new idea or content for the podcast, whether it was an episode of his shows, In Defence Of, and Sideshow & Tell, or one of his many interviews with top composers in the industry. All this work took a lot of time to set up behind the scenes, copious amounts of research, and more time than many of us could manage, even on our best day. He was a gifted podcaster and interviewer that will be sorely missed and forever remembered.
Among his many talents, Ian had a vast knowledge of cinema that brought an element to the show we were missing, along with a dose of humour and interview style our listeners adored. We experienced a boost in listenership thanks to Ian’s personality, voiceovers, skits, shows, and interviews, and we know he befriended and spoke to many of you on a regular basis.
Thank you so much for all the love and kind comments we’ve received about Ian since his passing. Your support means a lot at this difficult time. Given Ian’s tireless commitment to our podcast network over the years, he deserves a huge send-off!
Join us as we gather to remember, Ian Crabb.
Yesterday, our friend Ian Crabb was laid to rest in Bournemouth. In honor of him, we want to present you with his favorite episode of In Defence Of, a show he proudly hosted with distinction on our network, from 2015 to 2017. That episode was Alien 3, a film Ian felt very strongly was unfairly maligned.
In many ways, this episode was the epitome of what Ian had always hoped IDO would be – a film that divided people being discussed in engaging, thoughtful ways. It was also a thrill for him to cohost alongside Erik Woods, who joined us on this episode. As we prepare for his celebration episode, to be released later this week, we hope you’ll join us in remembrance of Ian, as we revisit his favorite episode of In Defence Of.
Deets and Jen welcome you all to episode 29 of Sideshow Sound Radio!
Your hosts share their favorite cues to listen to during their workouts from a multitude of film scores, and the criteria they employ to get their blood flowing.

Welcome to the desert of the real! In celebration of it’s 20th anniversary, for their 32nd Score Guide, Will & Wend shall be tumbling down the rabbit hole to discuss the highly original, postmodern score to The Wachowskis‘ 1999 sci-fi action-adventure, The Matrix, composed, orchestrated and conducted by marvellous composer, Don Davis.
Through the inventive approach of postmodern techniques, the composer employs atonality, dissonance, ostinatos and minimalist techniques to achieve a sound wholly original, for 90s action scores in particular. If the power of The Hollywood Studio Symphony, a 40-piece choir and boy soprano Theo Lebow weren’t enough, the soundtrack also features a collection of songs chosen by the directors that are almost equally well-loved in-context and we shall dive into some of these also, at the end of the show.
Sit back, relax and enjoy the flight as your hosts fling back the composer’s curtain to uncover all the shining musical moments that make this film score one of their faves of the last twenty years, guiding you through the soundtrack release track-by-track!
Cookies baked, spoons at the ready, let’s enter The Matrix!

It’s time to eat some bugs, kiss some frogs and follow the bouncing butt!
Welcome everyone to the newest instalment of Ian’s exclusive interview series, where your host, Ian Crabb, is very fortunate to talk with the brilliant film and television composer, Jared Faber.
Jared chats about his background in music, how he got into composing, working his way from oodles of animated kids shows to some of the most highly popular and respected sitcoms on TV such as the fantastic new show, Splitting Up Together and a whole lot more! Enjoy!
My dearest listeners, friends, colleagues, family and supporters of the Sideshow network, I wanted to address you first hand on something that has happened recently. You may have noticed my output of interview shows has slowed to a near crawl lately, and out of respect you deserve to know why.
Lately I have been in and out of hospital with varying degrees of abdominal pain and problems. After undergoing numerous tests and nearly every procedure in the book, I was admitted as the medical staff and consultants were extremely concerned. Within three days, the problem was found:
Day 1: Severe liver problems.
Day 2: Diagnosed with cancer of the liver.
Day 3: Cancer confirmed as “untreatable”, and therefore “terminal”.
I hate to be this blunt, but you all deserve to know the truth.
After deciding there was little more they could do for me, I am home now and resting as best I can, with a terrific support system from the local GP system, District Nurses, and the hospital.
Statistically speaking, the endgame of this is pretty clear, it’s just a case of how long. However, I am maintaining a positive state of mind and not giving up, thanks mainly in part to the wonderful people (especially Will Dodson) at Sideshow).
It goes without saying that, effective immediately, I am stepping away from Sideshow. I just didn’t want to vanish and you guys think there’d been some rift between the team.
God willing, I shall overcome and be back annoying your ears before you know it. But in the case I’m wrong I wanted to thank some people:
All the agents who helped me set up some truly outstanding guests. The guests themselves for giving this idiot the time of day. All of the team at Sideshow for being the nicest people you could hope to know and work with. And especially Will Dodson and Wendell Jones for taking a chance on me and giving me a platform.
But the biggest thanks goes to you, the dear listener, for all your support over the years.
So there you have it. It’s been a blast!
Yours,
Ian Crabb
