Join your hosts, Heather Elaine Abbott and Zoey Danielson, as they dive headfirst into the lush, chaotic, and achingly beautiful world of The Buccaneers—a show that stuns on every level, from its sweeping score to its corset-clad costumes and sun-drenched cinematography. And who better to lead the way than the sonic sorceresses behind the music? Composers Anna Phoebe and Aisling Brouwer—also known as the dream duo AVAWAVES—stop by to talk about building the show’s romantic, rebellious sound from the ground up.

We unpack the musical DNA of the series’ Gilded Age-meets-modern vibe, how they thread heartbreak and euphoria through a single chord, and why composing for female-led stories just hits harder. Plus, the duo drops some tiny hints about what’s coming in Season 2—so consider this your official spoiler warning.
