Welcome to Jake's Happy Nostalgia Show, the podcast where nostalgia comes alive!
This week, we welcome acclaimed music supervisor and composer Jeff Zahn, whose work has soundtracked some of the most beloved children's television of the past three decades. Jeff's credits include iconic series like Are You Afraid of the Dark?, The Busy World of Richard Scarry, Madeline, Arthur, Wimzie's House, and Caillou—for which he also wrote the unforgettable theme song. Jeff composed the music for the film Spookley the Square Pumpkin and has created tunes for Playhouse Disney and The Jim Henson Company. Join us as Jeff shares the stories behind his career, what goes into scoring for children's media, and how music becomes the heartbeat of shows that families treasure for years to come.
Special thanks to Judy Rothman Rofé for connecting us!
Keep up with Jeff!
