Songstripper is a new podcast by Tim Jackson and Phil Thornalley. Established songwriters and producers themselves, each episode they chat with a songwriting legend about one of their evergreen hits. One massive song that they not only wrote , but also played on and produced.
They strip away the legend of the song with their guest and take a look behind the curtain at how it was born. Revealing the intimate details, sometimes long forgotten, of what genius or luck came together to create such a memorable song and, ultimately, a hit record. Sit back, relax and enjoy. Drum roll please....
Two music nerds having fun with their songwriter guests. Exploring the haphazard journey from the genesis of a song idea to the Eureka moment when the songwriter is proclaimed as ‘a genius’ and the record becomes legend .
Some anecdotes that peak behind the show biz curtain but mainly chat about lyrics, melody and the luck and love that go into making an evergreen hit song.

Fascinating songwriting study
Listened to episode on I’m Mandy Fly Me - wonderful insights and discoveries on song I have loved for 30 years. Heard the song again with fresh ears.
