Edith Bowman (who is now the proud owner of a Fantha Tracks badge – let’s hope she tweets a photo of herself wearing it) speaks to The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson, discussing John Williams soundtrack to the film on the latest episode of Soundtracking With Edith Bowman.

In a unique weekly podcast, Edith Bowman sits down with a variety of film directors, actors, producers and composers to talk about the music that inspired them and how they use music in their films, from their current release to key moments in their career. The music chosen by our guests is woven into the interview and used alongside clips from their films.

Be sure to bookmark Edith’s always fascinating Soundtracking, which is regularly the top podcast in the UK.
