Welcome to The Singers Talk podcast based on my book of the same name. I’m Jason Thomas Gordon (singer/drummer of the Los Angeles rock band Kingsize), and when I first started singing for my band, I couldn’t believe there was no resource to find out how singers do this brutal job night after night. For something that seems easy, it can be truly dangerous, often embarrassing, and when you’re lucky…... more

  • Love this

    I loved this podcast. ESP love the one with Thom Yorke. A must listen for singers and anyone who loves music. It has given me a new appreciation of music. I wish you could interview Elizabeth Fraser from Cocteau Twins. Thanks all who contributed.

  • I Love This Podcast. May I make a suggestion?

    Jason, i absolutely love what you are doing with this podcast. I love nothing more than digging deep into a musician’s motivations, desires and how they do what they do. You are in an incredible position to pose these questions to some of the most iconic musicians of our time. Why not invest in better audio equipment that will augment your interviews to the level that you and your guests deserve? And that your audience deserves? I’m a fan of you and of your family. Danny Thomas. Marlo Thomas. Wo... more

  • Love this podcast and in-depth interviews

    I’m really loving this new podcast. Jason is easy to listen to and asks questions which offer the most insight to the best singers.

    My personal favorite so far is Wendy Melvoin’s interview with her friend and collaborator, Prince. Wendy shared so much on Prince and his creative process! Thank you, Jason and Wendy 💜 I will forever love our own fellow Minnesotan, Prince.

    I had the pleasure of meeting him downtown Minneapolis in the late 80s at clubs he frequented. Treasured memories!

  • I can’t wait for this whole series!

    I already have Jason‘s amazing book but knowing that there is going to be a podcast with full interviews is the perfect companion. The first episode has everything for fans of music as well as process and vocalists. I have been waiting for this my whole life and my only complaint is that there aren’t more episodes already posted and that I wish there were more living vocalists Jason could have spoken to for posterity. I can’t recommend this enough and it is only one episode in. Also all proceeds... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Norah Jones
Q: What do you feel has changed the most about your voice since you started?
I think it's changed a lot, but I'm not really sure because I haven't listened to anything old in a while.
Norah Jones
Q: Do you remember your first time on stage as a lead singer, like performing your own material?
I had my first gig at a coffee shop where I was just playing jazz standards, and I wasn't really writing at that time.
Norah Jones
Q: Do you do vocal warm-ups before shows?
Yes, and I have for about 10 years. I've learned that warming up gives me more control over my voice.
Simon Le Bon
Q: What was your most embarrassing vocal mishap?
My pants split and then I got on the road, used to staple them together.
Simon Le Bon
Q: How do you take care of your voice on the road?
Not taking drugs, not smoking, trying to regulate and drink moderately, because we all know alcohol dries you out like a motherfucker. Drink lots of water, warm drinks.
