The Jeremiah Show: Pop Culture, Music Icons Food Gods

The Hollywood Composers Series Continues. Brought to you by The Jeremiah Show and Executive Producer Carol Connors

 

In this episode of The Jeremiah Show Hollywood Composers Series, Grammy-nominated composer and producer Shaun Drew takes us inside his creative world, sharing a curated journey through his music and the stories behind it. From deeply personal compositions shaped by grief and reflection to large-scale orchestral recordings with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, Shaun reveals how emotion, imagination, and craft come together in his work.

 

He also offers insight into the art of film scoring—explaining cues, themes, and the role of music in storytelling—while discussing his bespoke music library and the balance between creating for picture and composing from within. It’s a thoughtful and immersive conversation about the power of music to connect, inspire, and shape how we experience a story.

Jeremy Keith is stepping into his moment on The Voice, but his journey has been years in the making.

In this episode of The Jeremiah Show, Jeremy shares what it feels like to move from a longtime background vocalist into the spotlight as a solo artist. After more than two decades in the music industry, his blind audition marked a turning point—one that challenged him to see himself differently and fully embrace his voice and identity as an artist.

Jeremy opens up about the mindset shift that came with standing alone on stage, the validation of having multiple coaches turn their chairs, and the confidence he gained from their belief in him. He also reflects on the importance of self-trust, stepping out of comfort zones, and why this chapter is about not letting himself down.

It’s an honest and inspiring conversation about growth, humility, and what happens when preparation meets opportunity.

On this episode of The Jeremiah Show, Jeremiah welcomes Sean Mendelson and Jason Mendelson to explore the legacy and ongoing story of one of television’s most beloved cultural treasures: Peanuts.

Schulz’s characters to life on screen, together they continue the family’s role in preserving and expanding that legacy. In this conversation, they share personal memories of the early days of the Peanuts specials, the creative collaboration with Charles Schulz and composer Vince Guaraldi, and the enduring impact of these timeless stories. It’s a warm and thoughtful look at the people behind the animation, the music, and the spirit that has connected generations of audiences to Charlie Brown and his friends.
