Former BBC Radio One DJ, Edith Bowman, has chatted with The List about her weekly podcast, Soundtracking. She discussed her chat with The Last Jedi’s Rian Johnson and recalled an emotional moment where Johnson recounted a meeting in John William’s house.
What’s one of your favourite stories to come out of the podcast?
I was nearly in tears recently when Rian Johnson described to us going round to John Williams’ house and sitting and talking to him about the soundtrack, then looking around and thinking he was in a library of books until he realised all these leather bound volumes covering the walls were every score he’d written, in the form he’d written them in. It almost brings me to tears thinking about it. Seeing that the score for his film was going to fit in this library with all these other scores was amazing. That really touched me.
