Our latest guest on Soundtracking is composer Gary Yershon, who joins us to reflect up 3 decades of collaborations with Mike Leigh, and more specifically Mike's latest movie, Hard Truths. Starring Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Michele Austin, and David Webber, the plot follows the plight of a depressed and nay-saying woman and the relationship with her jovial sister Chantelle. Gary is absolutely fascinating on Mike's process when it comes to both filmmaking and music - so this is well worth a listen.
