## Resource

Our latest guests on Soundtracking join us to chat about season 5 of comedy-drama Trying, which is streaming now on Apple TV. First up is star of the show, Rafe Spall, followed by Orla Gartland, who is the latest in a line of fantastic musicians to provide original music for the show. For those who don't know, Trying tells the story of Jason and Nikki - played by Rafe's real-life partner, Esther Smith - who struggle to conceive before deciding to adopt, which presents its own set of problems for them to deal with.
