The SCOREcast boys are back with their first episode of 2017! It's a full one, so buckle up as Deane and Brian talk through the NAMM Show, a fantastic new educational opportunity for composers, and the bizarre set of rules and regulations involving the Oscar-nomination process. Deane also makes public his announcement from last month's SCOREcast meetups in Hollywood and London and what that announcement means for our community going forward.
