And that is a song that Kate recorded in about 24 hours (!!) and was the last song recorded for the album: Walk Straight Down The Middle. We have a frequent guest for this show, young Kate fan Diego Ortega, to talk about this song, which he

Now that we're back down to earth after the previous song... it's time to sit with our feelings for a bit, for the epic, emotional album closer This Woman's Work.

Whenever Paul is on, we always nerd out about the musicality of Kate's songs and what makes them so uniquely her. This song is no exception! We also talk about the inspiration for this song and its use in the movie it was written for, the 1988

This week, we're going back to '39, before the music started, to a night that someone would rather forget, a night when they danced with the devil: Hitler. Heads We're Dancing is the fifth track on The Sensual World, and is one of the more propulsive songs Kate has ever done. It might even be one of the darkest songs she's ever done as well.
