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
