Episode 39: Nami Melumad

This week we have the immense pleasure of chatting with Nami Melumad, composer for Star Trek: Prodigy and so much more, for a wide ranging discussion regarding music composition and production, gender inequity in professional music, and of course many things Trek.  We honestly could have spent hours talking with Nami, who was gracious with her time and insights.  May you enjoy the conversation as much as we did as the close to our first five-episode interview series.

Please check out Nami's work:

Welcome to Dice in Mind, a weekly podcast in which we explore the meaning of life through the lens of RPGs!  In each episode, we will consider everyday stuff like science, religion, philosophy, and economics…through the lens of a specific roleplaying game and its dice mechanic.
