This Song Is Yours

Our guest this week is Lottie McLeod. The Meanjin/Brisbane-based singer and songwriter has built a devoted following quickly since releasing her first single in 2023, earning QMusic’s Emerging Artist of the Year for 2025 and releasing her debut EP Bug along the way. She returns this year with The Boathouse, a seven-track sophomore EP via ABC Music that draws comparisons to Phoebe Bridgers’ Stranger in the Alps. On today’s episode, Lottie joins us to talk about the making of The Boathouse, how working with producer Caleb Wright (Samia, Hippo Campus) came about, and what first inspired her to start writing her own music.

Our guest this week is Azure Ryder. The Australian-Lebanese songwriter has spent the better part of a decade building a following through a run of EPs that showcase her gift for folk, americana and dream pop. In September she released Even Flowers Can Bruise, her long awaited debut record — a gorgeous album that highlights her keen eye for detail and a real willingness to go somewhere vulnerable as a songwriter. On today’s episode, Azure joins us to talk about how she settled on the sound of the record, the vulnerability in her songwriting and the healing process it can provide, and the family connection that brought her to the producer of the album.

Our guests this week are from Wishy. An indie rock five-piece from Indianapolis, Wishy have spent the last few years earning praise from Pitchfork, NME and Stereogum, landing on year-end lists at The New York Times and GQ, and notching a Colbert performance along the way. Last year a run of tour dates with Momma brought them across the US and through LA, where we were lucky enough to catch them live. Last week they returned with their sophomore record 'Nature's Pill', a gorgeous collection of guitar-driven songs that finds the band fully in their stride. On today's episode, Kevin and Nina join us to discuss the making of Nature's Pill and how some of these songs first took shape, the vulnerability that comes with two primary songwriters sharing new work with their bandmates, and how the Indiana music scene compares to others they've encountered on the road.

Our guest this week is Sycco. The project of Naarm-based songwriter, artist and producer Sasha McLeod has built serious momentum since its inception: touring with Remi Wolf and Glass Animals, accumulating over 80 million streams, and releasing debut record Zorb to an ARIA nomination and the J Award, with collaborations alongside Flume and Mallrat cementing her reputation as one of the most promising young artists in the country. Last week she returned with Look Up, a sophomore record made on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula that swaps the familiar for the open air, blending RnB, pop and electronica into something genre-bending, youthful and deeply satisfying. On today's episode, Sash joins us to talk about the vulnerability running throughout Look Up, how recording out on the Mornington Peninsula influenced the sound of the record, and her introduction to songwriting.

Our guest this week is Johnny Marr. One of the most restless and influential guitarists of his generation, Johnny has spent four decades refusing to stand still, from the iconic guitar work that defined The Smiths, to Electronic, Modest Mouse, Hans Zimmer film scores, a memoir, and a solo career that has only grown in confidence with each record. This week he returns with The Age of Everything, an album that captures an artist completely at ease with who he is and what he wants to say, while finding optimism in a world that isn't always easy to be optimistic about. On today's episode, Johnny joins us to talk about how this record was built from a single title outward, how each album serves as a document of where he was in his life at the time, and what he's still chasing as a songwriter after all these years.
