Welcome back to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds! In this bonus episode, Christian and Brett have a conversation with Tom Howe, the composer of the Ted Lasso score and main theme song (alongside Marcus Mumford).

Tom Howe is an accomplished composer for television and film. In addition to his work on Ted Lasso, Tom has composed music for The Great British Bake Off and Shaun the Sheep: Farmageddon. He’s also contributed additional music to scores of major blockbusters like The Legend of Tarzan, Wonder Woman, and Mulan.

We connected with Tom to chat about his work on Ted Lasso and to ask him about the collaborative process with Marcus Mumford and the task of scoring a show with mostly acoustic instruments.

Tom also shared about his experience scoring Bake-Off, his recent induction to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and his work on some other recent projects.
