Hi listeners! Loki's second season recently concluded in glorious fashion, aided by a God-tier score by Natalie Holt. In this exclusive interview, our Amon Warmann spent one hour with the composer chatting about the show's biggest moments, character themes, her episode 3 cameo (did you spot her?), and much more.

If you enjoy this 60 minute deep dive with one of the most talented composers working today, let us know if you'd like more of this type of content by tweeting us at ⁠⁠⁠@FadeToBlackPod.⁠
