Hi! It’s Stephenie.
I’m incredibly proud of this article.
My enormous gratitude to Michael Lee Simpson for his help coordinating these exclusive interviews with:

Ron Wasserman, legendary TV theme composer for shows like Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, X-Men: TAS, Sweet Valley High, and probably every other 90s theme song you remember.
