Could this be the sneak peek at the Mulan soundtrack? I only had the episode in the background while I was doing other things because for now I just wanted to find the Mulan preview, so I'm not sure, but I think the movie is not mentioned again in the interview.

A new episode has been released. This time the composer interviewed is Germaine Franco, co-writer of most of the songs in Coco: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCeo2EgPBAc

New podcast with Geoff Zanelli, composer of Maleficent: Mistress of Evil among other films: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1B6DOO6Ljk

Host Jon Burlingame Scores Big Interview with Alan Menken for Disney’s For Scores Podcast

Not much new in that podcast but still a delight to listen to Menken talk.

I hope Part 2 gives us some more insight into his non-Ashman work for Disney, which I feel doesn’t get the attention it deserves. We know so little about what was going on behind the scenes at Tangled or Enchanted. Or even Hercules.

But I guess since it’s a Disney branded podcast we’re probably not going to hear Alan’s real thoughts on how he was treated by Lasseter.

Remember that Menken is currently working with John Lasseter on a Skydance Animation project. So I imagine if he does talk about Lasseter, it won't be negatively.

I forgot about that. It’s weird, because I always assumed it was thanks to Lasseter that Menken was doing less projects at Disney at a certain point.
