Thanks for being our final (for now) guest, Sam Clements!

This marks the end of our scheduled programming. Thanks to everyone who made our Tom Waits deep dive a reality - our listeners, our guests, and most of all my cohost Sam Pay - and of course, Tom Waits for making so much fine music.

Art is subjective... but a music podcast has to come up with a final list, as Martin Austwick 🎸🎼🎤 and Sam Pay discuss their personal highs and lows from the last 8 (or 50) years of Tom Waits's music traffic.libsyn.com/secure/songbys…

The Answer May Enrage You

Forget the previous few-hundred episodes, let's just get to the heart of it: 'What's your favourite Tom Waits song?' Sam Pay and Martin Austwick 🎸🎼🎤 finally provide their answers songbysongpodcast.com/blog/2024/2/28…

Huge thanks to Martin Austwick 🎸🎼🎤 for the music, and even huger thanks to Jez Burrows for spending years collecting these kinds of credits, making them into a book And Introducing (available now via jezburrows.com), and letting me read to you from it here

I forgot to bookend this with “I’m available for work”! I do music, audio production, writing, format development and consultancy, training and mentoring. My background is science but I’ve made comedy, narrative nonfiction, experimental fiction, travel, music and criticism too.

As much a “what to recommend to a non-Tom Waits fan in your life who wants to be one” as anything. Our penultimate Song by Song about Tom Waits (for now)!

We’ve done our best to compile the True Orphans we talked about on the show - a few are True True Orphans that we couldn’t find, but the rest are here: songbysongpodcast.com/the-true-orpha…

and for the tracks on YouTube (most of them) - here’s a handy playlist:

Our last instalment of chat about Tom Waits’ music videos!

Music Videos have often been overlooked here at Song by Song, so Philippa Spanos rejoins Sam Pay and Martin Austwick 🎸🎼🎤 to dig through the space between the songs and the films of Tom Waits songbysongpodcast.com/blog/2024/2/7/…

Come for the Waits, stay for the data visualisation

Really sorry to hear about this - it sucks like hell but I’ve no doubt the people who drove this forward will continue to do great work and generally make podcasting less crap. Hire them!

A real pleasure to talk to a wonderful journalist, writer, podcaster and editor - aka Barney Hoskyns. Just wait till you hear how he discovered the music of Tom Waits!

podcasters/podcurious of Vancouver BC: we're having a free meetup Saturday 10am-12pm, come hang with me and Martin Austwick 🎸🎼🎤 eventbrite.com/e/vancouver-po…
