The Weekly Song podcast is a challenge for two musicians. Roger Heathers and Declan Kitchener give themselves seven days to write a new song. They take these songs to eachother once a week and take them apart, discussing lyrics, chords and the craft of songwriting.

This week, Declan and Roger have the challenge of writing a song that plays the same forwards and backwards.

- Two new songs:

Declan: 'Redmond Barry'

Roger: 'Untitled #5'

Declan's Weekly Listening:

1. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication

2. Antonio Vivaldi - The Four Seasons

3. Highly Suspect - Mr. Asylum

Roger's Weekly Listening:

1. Frank Zappa - Live In Rotterdam (1980)

2. Kate Bush - Never For Ever
