Listen to the last episode:
The final episode of The Best Song Podcast sort of comes full circle to the first Original Song Oscar nominees of 1934, with a big song-and-dance number among the 2023 nominees and of course, a sentimental love song. Mixed in with that is yet another nomination from Diane Warren, and the first song to be nominated using lyrics from a Native American language. Find out more about these nominees on episode 91! A big thank you to everyone who tuned in to the show and learned something about movie music that will enhance your movie-watching experience.
