"Really interesting. Found this bc the host was a co-host on a l other favorite podcast of mine-Home Cooking. This is definitely a podcast that you’ll pick and choose episodes as you might not know all the songs. But the ones you do know…it’s really cool knowing the backstory of how they became to be."

"As a musician and songwriter I find this fascinating. Admittedly, I more often then not listen to episodes of songs I am not familiar with, I love the deep dive on the songs I am."

"i love music but i am very lyrical. the words are reachable but the multiple layers of sound that make the recording are elusive. this podcast has both the artist themselves and a knowledgable host revealing how they created little pockets of magic that made the song so appealing. at the end they replay athe song and its like listening with new ears.

"If you like music it's great. It takes one song per episode and breaks down the process of how the artist made it. It makes you appreciate the process. "
