For this special episode, good friend of the show Blair Packham (frontman of The Jitters, co-creator of Song Studio), brought in two of his favourite songs and together we dove deep into each song. We talked about:

• Blair’s new album Unpopular Pop
• Specificity and universality in lyrics and storytelling
• An episode of Malcolm Gladwell’s Revisionist History: King of Tears about why country songs make us cry
• Songs as vehicles for social commentary
