“Songs and Stories” Podcast Archive
The “Songs and Stories” podcast started in 2007 as a way to talk about the stories behind a few of the songs. The show quickly evolved into a series of informal chats between Michael and other songwriters. They’ll discuss influences, latest projects, a bit of the business, or whatever pop cultural mintuate is in the air at the moment.
