Great podcast! I am specificaly interested to find out what the background music is playing at 8:50 in the Between a Rock and a Hard Place segment. Initially I thought it must be Coco Avant Chanel Score – 05 – Couture – Alexandre Desplat, which is listed in the music page for this episode, but on listen I dont think so. Any help would be great.
