Mark Steyn did a wonderful pair of audio programs on the music of film composer John Barry.
Steyn's guests include Don Black, who wrote the lyrics for Bond theme songs Goldfinger and Thunderball, Tim Rice, who was the lyricist for Jesus Christ Superstar and David Arnold, who wrote the music for Independence Day.
You can hear both audio programs here.

Barry specialized as a film composer and was one of the greatest talents in the history of that medium.
His compositions included the scores for films such as Midnight Cowboy, The Lion in Winter, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, Dances With Wolves, Born Free and dozens of others.
