The Soundtrack with Haley Taylor

Death and Taxes… and Film Music
This week on The Soundtrack, Haley Taylor turns tax season into something unexpectedly cinematic, exploring how money, debt, and accounting shape some of film’s most memorable stories—and scores. From the existential comedy of Stranger Than Fiction and the soul-filled mission of The Blues Brothers, to the quiet resilience of The Shawshank Redemption and the swashbuckling rebellion of The Adventures of Robin Hood, this episode uncovers how even taxes can drive powerful storytelling. With music ranging from indie rock and blues to minimalist textures and golden-age orchestration, it’s a reminder that great film music can be found in the most unlikely places—even in a spreadsheet.

 

Haley Taylor hosts “The Soundtrack,” every Saturday and Sunday at 6 p.m. where she explores the scores of the silver screen. Tune in for an hour of unforgettable film music with a look at the composers and the stories that made these melodies sing. Stay connected by following Haley on Instagram.
