On this week's episode of Jake's Happy Nostalgia Show, we're joined by songwriter and music director Joe Phillips!

Joe's professional career began with sound design work for television and film, contributing to major feature films such as Braveheart, Natural Born Killers, Time Cop, and Pocahontas. He also served as audio supervisor on the Nick Jr. series Allegra's Window. Many fans know Joe best for his extensive work with the Barney franchise. His journey began with the former attraction A Day in the Park with Barney at Universal Studios Florida, and continued across countless television episodes, home videos, and live performances. Joe shares behind-the-scenes stories from his career, discusses the creative process behind music made for children's entertainment, and reflects on the lasting impact of Barney's songs on generations of audiences.
