I absolutely love these interviews. It helps me in my own songwriting, and fuels my fire. There’s no place better to not only get the tactical tips regarding songwriting but also the story behind the songs as well. I have been introduced to so many new songwriters and music that wouldn’t have landed in my orbit otherwise. Thanks so much!!
This show is always good, but the interview with Carolyn Dawn Johnson is so full of incredible advice. Thanks so much for what you do.
Scott and Paul have a gift for teasing out compelling insights from songwriters, whether hugely famous or lesser known. And their pre-interview chats are always good for interesting analysis and laughs.
I’m a forever GNR fan and this is the best interview with Duff I’ve ever heard. Great job. Informative to hear his writing process and influences.
