In this episode, we'll speak with Jeff about this latest Auditory Adventure into the Fantasy Worlds of Irwin Allen & take a 'crash dive course' into the composers & some of the notable original music cues & themes they scored throughout the four season run of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. as well as some of his fascinating upcoming projects.
