The superb Melbourne singer-songwriter Angie McMahon is Katie’s guest in this hour, chatting about her new EP, Piano Salt; how she’s been spending her time in locked-down Melbourne; her connection with Montreal artist Leif Vollebekk (who was on the show in March this year); and how music and art are a source of hope in this time. As well as tracks from Angie’s EP, Katie plays new and recent songs by US and Australian artists, and pays tribute to the late, great Helen Reddy. Here is the playlist:
