## Resource

Welcome to the first episode of a six-part series breaking down the music of Heated Rivalry , one episode at a time. In this installment, we're exploring every song featured in Episode 1, "Rookies." I'll also dive into Zoe Si's article, "Power Play: Behind the Music of Heated Rivalry," which examines creator and showrunner Jacob Tierney's philosophy on music and the role it plays in his creative process. As Tierney has shared in numerous interviews since the series premiered, music is a foundational part of how he develops and shapes scenes and builds his version of Heated Rivalry . Each episode in this podcast series will focus on one episode of the show, unpacking the soundtrack, score, and storytelling behind the music selections.
