     This week on Talking Sopranos Michael and Steve welcome five amazing guests to the podcast. First up it’s Frank Renzulli one of the most important writers on the Sopranos. Many of the stories from his life actually became scenes on the show. 

     Then it’s Rob Spragg from Alabama 3. He wrote the theme song for the Sopranos "Woke Up This Morning". You’ll be shocked to hear what the piece is really about.

     Next up Henry Yuk. Henry only appeared in one episode but made a huge impact. He played Sungyon Kim who owned Kim’s Laundry, and ended up getting whacked by Tony Blundetto. 

     Then Executive Producer Ilene Landress joins the show. She ran things behind the scenes and knows where all the bodies are buried. 

     Lastly Dan Attias talks about what it was like to direct episodes of the Sopranos and to work with James Gandolfini Edie Falco. It’s a fantastic show you won’t want to miss.
