Fifty episodes, hundreds of topics, more than seventy hours of recorded conversation… but until now, Deane and Brian have never ventured out into the wild of a live SCOREcast event and recorded an episode. For the milestone of our 50th show, the boys host the SCOREcast Namm Dinner in Anaheim, California – an annual event that draws dozens of composers, orchestrators, developers, performers and fans – and finally chat with the developer of Era 2: Medieval Legends, Eduardo Tarilonte; president of Best Service, Wolfgang Wanko; Mike Peaslee, Gregg Stephens and Chris Marshall of SoundIron; cinematic vocalists Uyanga Bold and Aeralie Brighton; and Sam Estes and Michael Hobe of SonicSmiths. It’s a loud, margarita-fueled night, and a detailed insight into the business of creating the sample libraries that we all use on a daily basis. It’s the 50th episode of the SCOREcast Podcast Show!

Convicted killer Robert O. Marshall, whose life inspired the best-selling true-crime book Blind Faith and whose upcoming parole hearing divided his sons over whether he was innocent or guilty of the 1984 murder-for-hire of their mother, has died in prison, his son says. Christopher Marshall, speaking to the Asbury Park Press, says his father died Saturday after more than 30 years behind bars in New Jersey. Christopher, 48, and his brother Roby, 49, firmly opposed their father's possible release after he was convicted of the contract killing of his wife Maria, then 42, allegedly to collect a $1.5 million insurance policy. Their youngest brother, John, 44, has...
