Having a GAS...

Today, I'm having a GAS with Pedro Bromfman, a prolific music composer working in film, TV and video games. Pedro's most well-known work is arguably the score for the recent triple-A game 'Far Cry 6'. However you could be forgiven for only being aware of his score for the smash hit Netflix series 'Narcos'. -- Having a GAS™ is the podcast that talks to the great and the good of the creative industries, and in particular finds out what makes great music for film, for TV, for advertising; for dancing to, for cooking to, f*cking to, and more... -- GAS™ Music is a music production agency in Manchester, UK.

Today, I'm having a GAS with Jason Spencer, ITV's head of business development. In a nutshell, Jason is responsible for selling ITV's advertising space. There were two big areas I wanted to discuss with Jason: 1) The viability of TV advertising in an age where more and more users are switching to on-demand providers like Netflix, Disney+ and Prime; 2) How the sausage gets made on broadcast TV and how the commercial revenue actually pays for the production of content. -- Having a GAS™ is the podcast that talks to the great and the good of the creative industries, and in particular finds out what makes great music for film, for TV, for advertising; for dancing to, for cooking to, f*cking to, and more... -- GAS™ Music is a music production agency in Manchester, UK.

Today, I'm having a GAS with Reuben Cohen, a mastering engineer at Lurssen Mastering. Reuben has worked on a number of hit records, perhaps most notably the 2014 international sensation 'Happy' by Pharrell.

Today, I'm having a GAS with Laurel Stark and Sheila Judkins, Creative Director and Director of Brand Management respectively at The Sims. Laurel is a relatively recent appointment at The Sims, so I was keen to find out what it's like shouldering the weight of such a celebrated global brand. Helpfully, she invited Sheila in so we could get multiple perspectives! -- Having a GAS™ is the podcast that talks to the great and the good of the creative industries, and in particular finds out what makes great music for film, for TV, for advertising; for dancing to, for cooking to, f*cking to, and more... -- GAS™ Music is a music production agency in Manchester, UK.
