The 30 min Songwriting Podcast where you can sharpen your songwriting skills - and have a laugh or two.



It is not a singer/songwriter showcase or an interview show, but a way for songwriters to talk about the technical aspects of writing songs. The show talks about every genre you can think of: pop, rock, folk, jazz, punk, electronica, dance, and Rap. We have special theme shows where we talk about Bridges, Chord substitutions and the odd Movie show. Think of it like one of those talking head sports shows – ‘cept with less yelling.



"I love being a guest on Song Talk Radio! To have intelligent conversations about songwriting with actual songwriters is a beautiful thing. Sometimes the terrific hosts let me free-form what I want to talk about, and other times they’ll pick a songwriting subject, but either way, it’s fun, informative, and invigorating." - Blair Packham, frontman, The Jitters, Song Studio Founder

FUN-Tastic

Fun, instructive, REAL! As a "Semi-Pro" Songwriter who's studied music theory and songwriting, this is the BEST songwriting podcast yet!! I've had one on one mentoring sessions with real hit writers and I've been to plenty of PRO Seminars and have been a member of (and am a Coordinator for NSAI) but this is something different and a real "shot in the arm" that boosts my sense of comradery. Thanks! G
