On the coldest morning in the seven-year history of Miss Chatelaine, Katie presents a killer array of songs that warm her and her listeners up. They include moving tracks by Aotearoa’s Georgia Lines, Western Australia’s Emily Barker, and gay US artist Wrabel with the Trans Chorus of Los Angeles. There’s also a seasonal pop favourite by The Twoks, a tune from the new album by the legendary Crowded House, and more. Here is the playlist:

Joining Katie in the JOY studio this morning is Narrm/Melbourne-based singer-songwriter Cate Taylor. Cate has a beautiful new album out called Sometimes in Winter, and she and Katie chat about that and about the things that inspire Cate’s music (especially the natural world), her network of friends in the local indie-music community, and more. Here is the playlist:

Katie is a bit croaky this morning as she is recovering from a cold, but she warms herself and the listeners up with a bunch of songs about moving on, the peace of sleep, losing a loved one, what could have been, being overwhelmed by feelings, the need to win at all costs, love for a brother, and more. Here is the playlist:

The great new music keeps on coming in the second hour of today’s show. Katie plays songs not only by past guests Anna Scionti, Dan Warner (with The Night Parrots), Josienne Clarke and Joy Oladokun, but also by several artists unfamiliar to her until now – and there’s a classic tune by Tony Bennett and patron saint of the show k.d. lang, too. Here is the playlist:
