Show Tunes: Episode 53 - The White Lotus
Ttoday we’re checking into one of the most uncomfortable luxury hotels on television, The White Lotus.<br /> <br /> The White Lotus first aired in 2021, created by Mike White. On paper, it looks simple, it’s just wealthy guests arriving at an expensive resort expecting a perfect holiday. What they get instead is tension and drama, usually while holding a drink by the pool. The show is a satire of privilege, and from the very beginning, the music makes that clear.<br /> <br /> The theme was composed by Cristobal Tapia de Veer, and it was never meant to sound welcoming. Mike White didn’t want a glossy, relaxing theme that matched the visuals, but rather a slightly unhinged tune that would immediately unsettle the audience. The instruction was basically: the hotel looks beautiful, but something ain’t right.

Show Tunes: Episode 52 - How I Met Your Mother
It’s under ten seconds long, but you know exactly where you are by the first note<br /> <br /> Welcome back to Showtunes, the podcast that zooms in on the theme songs you can recognise in under a second. This week we’re pulling up a booth at MacLaren’s to revisit How I Met Your Mother , a sitcom that mixed long-running love stories with barstool philosophy and one very fast, very catchy intro. <br /> <br /> Before Ted finishes the sentence, we’re diving into why Hey Beautiful by The Solids became inseparable from the show itself.

Show Tunes: Episode 51 - That 70s Show
Big Star never got their flowers at the time — but thanks to That ’70s Show, ‘In The Street’ became one of the most-heard songs they ever released<br /> <br /> Welcome to Showtunes, the podcast where we rewind to the theme songs that instantly take you back. This episode heads straight to the basement of That ’70s Show, a sitcom built on hanging out, classic rock, and Red Foreman’s legendary threats. <br /> <br /> Before the circle starts spinning, we’re diving into the story behind one of the most recognisable TV intros of the late ’90s.
