The Working Songwriter Joe Pug

Overarching them of my review: I love this podcast.
I was initially drawn to the podcast because I knew joes music but I’ve really enjoyed learning about the new artists. There have been many times where I had heard about the guest but hadn’t gotten into their music much. However, after listening to their story and motivation behind specific songs or albums I’ll go listen and just love it. If you got on my Spotify and looked up the logs of what I’ve listened to over the last year or so, you’d see it’s peppered with the working songwriter guests. Only suggestion would be to get more into the musical aspects of writing and musicianship. There’s a lot of talk about background and lyrics but not much about composing the music.
Anyways, keep it up. I always get excited when I see there’s a new working songwriter episode.

Joe filled a nice void in the podcast landscape with this thoughtful, informative, and entertaining show. Thanks Joe please continue.

Joe Pug is a natural interviewer and entertaining conversationalist. I always enjoy where he takes the conversation with his always entertaining guests. You will get lots about the life and times of a working songwriter. My only misgiving is that I have yet to hear anything about actual song craft: lyrics, harmony and chord choices, instrumentation, etc. That was what I hoped he meant by “Go deep” in the podcast intro. But I keep listening because it’s always an interesting interview. Keep it up, Joe!
