Episode 50 - A Celebratory Compilation

Getting to Episode 50 is an important milestone for me and one that I wanted to celebrate in some way.   I didn't want to get into choosing my "favourite " clips as that would be a harder task even than choosing a song from each decade of my life :-) It also didn't feel the right thing to do as I have genuinely enjoyed every one of the 49 episodes.   In recent months I have been flattered that a few people, thinking about starting a Podcast, have reached out for some advice and guidance and that gave me an idea for a theme I could use for this compilation episode.   The clips in this episode take you through some of the things I think you need to make a Podcast successful and fulfilling. This theme made choosing clips easier, as some pick themselves, and it also allowed me to keep the narrative structure of the decades.   As I say at the end of the episode, if you are a regular listener, I hope you will enjoy revisiting the archives and if you are a new listener, I hope this serves as an enjoyable introduction to what you can expect from Music Talks.   Whatever sort of listener you are I do want to say a heartfelt thank you. Music Talks has given me all sorts of unexpected joy and fulfilment and the buzz that comes from knowing that people are listening (and even better hearing from them) never diminishes. Long may it continue.   The Tracks chosen by my guests in this episode are   Larry Hauser - 50's             Elvis Presley            Hound Dog Jesse Jackson – 60’s            Sam Cooke              A Change Is Gonna Come Paul Simpson – 70’s             Jethro Tull                Wond’ring Aloud Steve Clayton – 80’s            U2                                 Where the Streets Have No Name John Wills – 90’s                   June Tabor                The Great Valerio Jo Berry – 00’s                        Keane                          Everybody’s Changing Brain Painting – 10’s           Dr.Dog                        That Old Black Hole Mike Pegg – 20’s                   The Beatles               Here Comes The Sun  I have compiled a Spotify Playlist of all the song choices that have been made over the previous 49 episodes and it neatly comes to 300 songs. It may not be the biggest or the best Playlist but it’s certainly the most “decade-consistent” you will find and a must for all family parties 😊 You can find it here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3LAzrJyUdP0VyjaSzhyGLE?si=881988ca4a1d4adcIf you would like to get in touch, or you are interested in being on the show, then please mail me on [email protected], ping me on Twitter @musictalkspod. or follow https://www.facebook.com/musictalkspod and message me there. I look forward so much to hearing from you.
