A Potted History Of The Pod.

Soul Music: The Songs That Saved Us started life as a book project, where we would gather the stories of souls who had a story about a particular piece of music, or multiple tracks that had supported them and gave them, comfort during a particularly challenging time, an idea based on your podcast host Izzy's own experience with her mental health and the music that helped. There will still be a book, it will be companion to the podcast and part of the sales from the book will be donated to prominent Mental Health charities close to our heart. For now, we are a podcast and our aim is to provide a way for people to say thanks, share their stories in the hope that it might be of comfort to others. We also aim to look at music overall in terms of its effect on mood, and educate our listeners with this all whilst having a bit of a giggle......humour is so so important to us providing that little light in the dark and we hope that if nothing else, people may smile and discover some cool music.
Want to be part of the project? We are open to contributions/guests from all walks of life who would like to share their story and we hope that you would like your story to be part of the eventual companion book.
