  • Real Aussie Sound

    I’ve been waiting for a podcast on songwriting that doesn’t sound American. This hits the mark!

    The stories and ideas come from people who aren’t super stars, who are doing the work of turning up to the art and craft of song writing. I’ve been a member of iheart songwriting club for 4 years and I love its community. If you’re losing steam, hit this up
