EARS: Everyday Artists. Real Songs.
A song you never heard by an artist you don't know, and a chat with the songwriter. We dig into the stories and the strange magic behind original songs. Each episode features a track by someone who might not do this for a living, and a conversation about where the song came from. It’s about process, inspiration, and the search for something true.
