Hello friends,

Welcome to this week’s episode of the OneTrackMinds podcast, featuring two stories that celebrate the simple pleasure of pop music.

Our first storyteller is journalist and author Keiran Goddard. Keiran is the author of four books, including the novels Hourglass and I See Buildings Fall Like Lightning. He writes regularly for The Guardian.

Our second guest today is music critic and author Michael Cragg. Michael’s book Reach For The Stars is a wonderful oral history of British Pop Music from The Spice Girls to Pop Idol - essential reading for all fans of OneTrackMinds…

Unfortunately, due to rights reasons, we can’t play our storytellers’ chosen songs in the podcast, but you can listen to them by following these links:

Huge thanks, as always, to our producer Haresh Patel.

Thanks for listening - we’ll be back again next week with more stories about life-changing songs.
