Addictive listening

I’m a classical musician and heard about this podcast through another podcast. Strong Songs is brilliant, interesting and addictive listening. Kirk Hamilton is a genuine, clever and lovely musician and host. I can’t recommend this enough.

Exceptional.

I started with the episode “In Your Eyes” by Peter Gabriel. I loved it and was moved to tears.

SOK

I started listening to Strong Songs in one of the Covid years, it was a recommendation by my podcast algorithm, and during those lock downs I needed something more then watching TV and lunch time drinking. The first episode I heard was a mail bag episode, I remember how I was cutting the lawn with industrial Bluetooth ear muffs (hearing protection) and I was completely drawn in. From that very first episode I was hooked with the deep dive into what make a song rememberable. I have been recommending Strong Songs to who ever will listen to me (in reality most people don’t really want to be given recommendations for pod cast) but when you meet someone who is already onboard, it’s like you have made a connection to a person with similar interests you may not have known before. In the words of an Aussie music producer ‘Molly Meldrum’ do your self a favour.
