    Adanna Nedd is a narrative designer and writer for video games. Born in the Chesapeake Bay State of Maryland, she studied Information Technology & English at Penn State University as a Millennium Scholar. While at Penn State, she started multiple research projects investigating how players represent themselves in video games through their choice of skins.


    After graduating, she began writing for games, specialising in character-driven stories focused on people of colour. My guest has written for projects including Celestia, the romance game Kiss U, and, most recently, Spirit Swap: Lofi Beats to Match-3 To, released this month.

    Daniel Pemberton, composer (Slow Horses, Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse, The Trial of the Chicago 7, Concord).
    Feb 4 2025

    Daniel Pemberton is an Academy Award-nominated English composer and songwriter. In 1994, at the age of 16, he recorded an album in his bedroom using a multitrack cassette recorder. It caught the attention of the music producer Pete Namlook, who released it on his label, leading to a flurry of soundtrack commissions. In the years that followed, my guest wrote music for TV shows including Peep Show, The Dark Crystal, Enola Holmes, and Slow Horses.


    But it’s his feature film work for which he is best known. He has collaborated with many of the world’s leading directors, composing for Ridley Scott's The Counselor, Danny Boyle’s Steve Jobs, Guy Ritchie’s The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Michael Mann’s Ferrari, and Aaron Sorkin’s The Trial of the Chicago 7 –– for which he was nominated for an Oscar. He has also composed the soundtrack for the Oscar-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and several video games including LittleBigPlanet and Concord.


    In 2009, the Guardian's Paul Moody said of my guest: “few know his name but millions hear his music almost every day.”
