Scott and Paul are industry professionals who are super knowledgeable about the songwriting craft, so they come at these interviews with a unique perspective. Also at the top of every episode, they do a current events and catch-up section that lets their sweet buddy chemistry shine. Be prepared to learn and have fun with Scott & Paul from Songcraft!
