The Working Songwriter Podcast

Everyone knows there is a bit of an art to songwriting, and I've found a great podcast that dives deep with songwriters to get to the bottom of how they make magic. Joe Pug is a prolific songwriter himself, and goes on to interview award winning songwriters each week - some I bet you've never heard of! But start here with this great episode featuring Dallas Green (City & Colour)

Well friends, that's me for this week!
Stay safe and have a yourself lovely weekend,
Tom
