Hi! Podington Bear is the nom de plume of me, Chad Crouch. I make instrumental music that I enjoy sharing freely, while seeking exposure and income through licensing. My podcast, Music Appearing in ‘This American Life – Live’
In a simulcast live event "beamed to 650 movie theaters on two continents" This American Life did a few things that wouldn't translate to radio with their latest show, themed "When The Invisible Becomes Visible"
The live event featured five pieces of music from Podington Bear. (It is unknown which, if any will make it to the radio version, likely to arrive this weekend.)
The Ryan Knighton introduction segment
from the album Egress, available free at The Free Music Archive
(This is one of my favorite songs that I've composed from beginning to end, and a good introduction to Podington Bear)
