Great for musicians and non-musicians
This is a great podcast for both musicians and non-musicians alike. The host Kirk Hamilton dissects songs piece by piece to discuss how they were created and what makes them interesting, unique, and great. While he gets into composition and performance details that musicians will appreciate, he’s very articulate and makes it approachable for non-musicians. Mostly though his love for ‘strong songs’ comes through and each episode makes me appreciate the song he’s covering more deeply. I discovered this podcast about a month ago and have been tearing through the archive of episodes and I joined his Patreon.
