For four years, Charlie McCarron  hosted Composer Quest , a podcast about composing music. The final episode of Composer Quest posted yesterday, and Charlie released a solo album today.

Charlie wanted to do something special before he stopped making the podcast, so he toured parts of the U.S., Australia, Japan and Taiwan, visiting other composers along the way and making music with them. You’ll hear a lot of that music during our interview, and you can hear the album in full here , including co-compositions with Disasterpeace  and Jordan Chin
