PODCAST

Songs in the Key of...

A podcast about songs. New songs. Old songs. Middle aged songs. Join Stephen Morris as he trawls through his collection of albums, EPs and singles. Sometimes these shows will be themed around an idea, a person, a genre or some other concept. Other times they will simply reflect his latest obsessions. His new favourite bands. Those songs he just can’t get out of his head... Follow Stephen on Twitter @reviewage

You soon won't be.
