Join us for a sonic excavation of the soul. Each episode we welcome a guest to select songs based on 10 prompts engineered to get to the very heart of their being. Some are silly, others dig deeper and there's a few off the cuff. 10 prompts, 10 songs and the stories they soundtrack.

Matt from the superb Demob Happy is on the pod this week to waltz us through his What Song playlist.
We chat about recording Demob's 4th LP 'The Grown-ups Are Talking' out in Joshua Tree with Dave Catching (Eagles of Death Metal, Queens of the Stone Age), how the Men In Black single soundtracked a trip through the Scottish countryside and the eternal majesty of Lindisfarne.
'The Grown-ups Are Talking' is out on January 30th 2026. Go pre-order and pre-add via their site: https://demob-happy.com/

Westerman
Will Westerman is on the pod this week to guide us through his What Song playlist.
We chat about recording his gorgeous new album at a 17th century carpet factory in Hydra, his love and initial indifference of Neil Young and why a composition described as "a leprechaun singing a song about the cosmos" is his go-to melancholy mood tune.
