A podcast featuring two supposed songwriters critiquing/praising/geeking out over famous artists. Each week, we'll discuss the discography of a new band/songwriter to discuss what makes these songs and records tick. Along the way, we'll invite some of our own musician friends to help us figure out what it means to Know. Your. Writes.
