Episode 38 - Richard M. Sherman

As one half of The Sherman Brothers, along with his late brother Robert, Richard M. Sherman is responsible for co-writing the most memorable Disney songs of all time. From the Academy Award winning compositions for Mary Poppins such as 'A Spoonful of Sugar', 'Feed the Birds', 'Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious', 'Jolly Holiday', 'I Love to Laugh' and 'Let's Go Fly a Kite', to other landmark Disney works such as The Parent Trap, 'It's a Small World (After All)', ‘I Wanna Be Like You’ (The Jungle Book), The Aristocats, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Winnie the Pooh and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (non-Disney), the Sherman Brothers have enchanted people of all ages for half a century. In this hour of conversation, Richard M. Sherman joins Simon and Brian to talk through the writing of many of these classics in his own inimitable style.
