Paul (@thepaulmcdonald) joins Lydia (@lydialuce) in a conversation about "Azalea", the title track from her latest record. Life mimics art and it's no different in the process of character development. Even though Azalea is fictitious, Paul helps us discover the real-life circumstance that brought the characters to life and the battle of the self-consciousness.

It's hard to express how one truly feels after the hurt of a past relationship. Especially when a word like "love" can be so flippant in music and life. Adam (@adamchaffins) takes us through the conversation with Jeremy (@jeremyblister) about the flow of a song, the challenge of something used a lot as a theme, and the real-life experience of sharing the tune.

Robby (@robbyhecht) and Charlotte (@icharlotteleigh) discover a lightness in what could be a possible dark moment in a relationship's aftermath. Hope, longing, and coming to terms are all a part of Robby's "Version Of Me". Words are everything to Robby but there is a dilemma of getting lost in details. Charlotte discovers a real gift with Robby that there are ways to write a song without all the details to make you feel where the characters are in the human experience.

A little song coming from a workshop actually became more than what Erin O'Dowd (@erinejodowd) even expected. Ross Cooper (@rossgcooper), fellow up and coming songwriter, share mutual feelings about the craft and even Erin's therapeutic song, "Songwriters Breakfast". A song full of easter eggs, Erin pulls from home town tributes, making your own way, and even inner isolation. The latter, Ross agrees is common in the craft of songwriting but is it necessary?

Sam Bush (@sambushband), notable bluegrass legend, sits down with premier fiddle player Michael Cleveland (@mcflamekeeper) of Michael Cleveland and The Flamekeepers to talk about instrumental music.  Already mutually shared a love for the fiddle in episode 5, Sam and Michael share a little background into Black Mountain Rag tuning, the importance of the bow, and the "terrible" experience of naming tunes.

Deliverable lines, being honest with yourself and to your audience, and to be willing to write down your mistakes can be found here in Katie Cole's (@katiecoleofficial) song "Time On My Hands". Katie admits that vulnerability isn't a struggle to share but through song and conversation, Scott Mulvahill (@scottmulvahill) helps us discover how honesty can be a struggle to share.

Some of the best people in your life may have been the ones that you didn't expect to find. For Paul McDonald and Emily Kinney, an unexpected setup and eventually music becoming part of the picture was all they needed to start The Sweetheart Deal (@thesweetheartdeal). Nicki Bluhm (@nickibluhm) sits down with the duo to figure them out. Just as one would do early in a relationship, and discovers the beauty behind the building blocks of partnerships while creating music.

Seth Walker (@sethwalkermusic) and Mary Bragg (@marybragg) share the motive behind, "I Thought You Were Somebody Else" and how the original version was recorded. Seth and Mary find common ground in their influences and the calling of being a songwriter. But what Seth and Mary really uncover in this episode is are things as they seem, or actually, are we fooling ourselves what they seem to be?

Fellow songwriter Jeremy Lister (@jeremyblister) can really sympathize with Adam Chaffins (@adamchaffins) on the level of connectivity and breaking through the opportunities to share something so personal with the world. As we walk through the creation of "Who I Am", it isn't lost on Adam that there are few things that remain constant in life. A sense of longing, making peace with life's growing experiences, and the human connection with unconditional love.

After walking 300 miles on foot one would think that they'd love a break, but for Jason (@jasoneskridge), it led to something much larger. Love in it's purest form and his song "Save The Day". Rock 'n' Roller and vocal heavyweight Mike Farris (@mikefarrismusic) quickly points out characterizing an emotion in Jason's song and the uniqueness of personifying that in a lyrical line. This episode looks at things such as pursuit, love, and looking beyond than what we're capable to do.
