I don’t think to listen to music unless I’m really in my feels. This podcast is so perfect for that. I love learning the inspiration for songs I love. And also discovering new artists here as well. The conversations are vulnerable and deep and they ask the best questions. Clearly they’ve taken time to research and the conversations go into real depth. I’m excited to see who they have on next.
So many cool guests! It seems like every episode features another favorite artist - or one who is about to become a new favorite.
This show is not only a consistent opportunity to break open my heart with beautifully moving songs, it is also a great education in how music supervision works.
I always learn something about the artistic development of songs while gaining an appreciation for how the soundtrack of our lives is curated by behind the scenes music gurus like Lindsay and Laura.

Love that we finally have a podcast that pulls apart the sad songs we all know and love! As a huge fan of both sad songs and music supervision, it’s so refreshing to hear these artists talk about their songs and how music placements have helped their careers. If you spent your teenage years making emo mix tapes for your friends and wising you could pick the movie soundtracks, this podcast is for you.
Such a fun and informative show! The guests are amazing. And each episode gets better and better! A must listen.
I absolutely love this podcast. Laura and Lindsay are so insightful and the artists they have interviewed are fantastic. It’s so unique to get a peek behind the songwriting curtain. Keep the episodes coming!!
