This week on Talking Wicked, at long last, thanks to the new format, I bring on one of my favorite people on the planet and the person most responsible for the sound and texture of the show, composer Nico Vettese of We Talk of Dreams. Nico now works for multiple other shows, and shares his journey.

We talk about how Nico comes up with the soundscapes he creates for The Wicked Library and The Lift, what it's like finding your voice, the terror and reward of following your true path, and much more. Get a rare look behind the scenes to learn a bit about how the episodes come together and what makes Nico such a popular composer for multiple podcasts.

Host / Producer / Showrunner: Daniel Foytik

Get your copy of Nico's EP, Building Blocks, as well as his other albums, and maybe even hire him to write music or edit your podcast.
