“Excellent podcast beautifully presented by the wonderful Scarlet Keys. There are so many gems in these episodes that even as an electronic dance music producer and film composer I’m able to take away something from country music to Taylor Swift, and add it to the toolbox in my mind. Nothing great...”Read full review »

“I’m a singer songwriter - and a songwriter friend suggested listening to the What’s in a Song podcast. Wow!! Scarlet really understands how to pick away at the layers with each carefully curated guest. She makes the interview process sound so casual - and at the same she’s peeling the onion down...”Read full review »
