Hello lovely Strong songs listener is Kirk Hamilton here and I am coming to you on an off week with a very special bonus surprise.

A few weeks back I did an interview with Dallas Taylor, the host and creator of the wonderful

sound focused podcast 20,000 hurts.

We hit it off and we actually have a lot in common both in our

backgrounds and our approach to music and podcasting and also just in the subject

matter of our shows. I think they're actually really complimentary and that anybody

who likes strong songs would probably like 20,000 hurts.

Dallas does talk about music on his show, but he talks more about sound and about the sounds

that we hear and sometimes the sounds that we don't hear.

So we got to talking and we agreed to do a little bit of cross-promotion.

He ran an ad for strong songs on 20,000 hurts and to anybody who's listening to the show because of

that or because of a mention on 20,000 hurts, hey welcome and I really appreciate you coming by.

Anyways, I am now running an episode of his in my feed because I think that a lot of you would

really like it, in particular this episode which is about a piece of music that I would never actually

cover on strong songs. I mean never say never I guess is possible but it's not the kind of thing I

would cover for reasons that will be clear when you listen to it but it's an incredible

episode of 20,000 hurts and I think that if you haven't heard it you'll really

dig it so it's gonna come up after this I'm not gonna be around

after the episode or anything so this is the last till here for me there's nothing new in this if you've already heard this

episode on 20,000 hurts there's nothing new this is just for people who

maybe hadn't heard it I thought they might like it I should also say this

isn't going to become a regular thing dropping other shows
