  • Exceptional podcast

    These guys really know how to conduct an interview, just listened to the John Fogerty episode and I can certainly

    recommend that one to anyone who’s not sure where to start.

    He’s one of the finest songwriters

    ever and how nice to hear him asked such intelligent questions,not the

    usual generic rubbish.

    The hosts are very well researched and let their guests answer freely and easily,no sudden interruptions or pointless digressions.

    Basically as good as it gets.

  • Fantastic Podcast

    This has quickly become my favourite podcast. It’s fascinating to hear about the writing process of these legendary songwriters. I also love how many on them start the interview slowly and cautiously but end up excited and chatty.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 300 - Self Esteem
Q: When it comes to actually designing the songs for that particular context, do you get into thinking about how melodies and arrangements and stuff are going to actually work in a live context?
I sort of know melodically where it all needs to go in order for it to do what I need it to, which is either help you walk up an escalator fast, or feel as emotional and filmic as I feel inside my heart every day.
Episode 300 - Self Esteem
Q: Do you foresee a time when you might deviate from that very personal style of writing to something maybe more character or story based?
I have never, ever done it. I've always just said how I feel, and it's sort of ruined my life in some ways. It would be a fun challenge, but it doesn't come naturally to me.
Episode 300 - Self Esteem
Q: Is it bittersweet feeling for you when the songs that you've toiled over finally become public property?
No, it's not. I'm just like, hello, come, come and see how good they are. I found it really tough to make, like excruciating actually to make this one.
Episode 299 - Labi Siffre
Q: Since you've picked it back up again, are there any new approaches to writing and recording that you've developed?
I've realized I have a lot of learning to do, especially with production qualities and how sounds are used now.
Episode 299 - Labi Siffre
Q: Do you find new points of significance or meaning in it over time?
Yes, I have admitted that I did write a lot, perhaps more than I realized.
