About the show

This podcast dives deep into the art and craft of songwriting - through honest conversations about how songs get written, how songwriters think, and the questions that emerge when you commit to making creative work. We’ve been friends for over 20 years and through all that time, despite the many different career paths we’ve headed down, music and songwriting is what what we keep coming back to - the common thread in our friendship - and our passion for it has only grown in recent times, mainly because of the work we do with songwriters around the world, weekly sessions with our beloved community members and of course, continuing to help songwriters of all levels through our YouTube channel, ‘How To Write Songs’
