I’ve learned so much listening to this podcast. Marty and Clay have a ton of experience, wisdom, insight and knowledge to offer songwriters. Not only that but they truly care about the future of songwriters and protecting them from being taken advantage of. If you’re a songwriter m, you must listen to this podcast!

I Listen while I’m working out and have picked up so much on songwriting ideas and encouragement to keep on! The added bonus is the message about loving the craft and loving people. Marty and Clay bring so much of that with the interviews and stories! Thanks SongTown! RR
