Episode 17 is our final episode of The Songwriting Podcast. We’re sure that this news will probably come as a shock and a disappointment to many of our faithful listeners, so Jason will give you his reasons as you listen to this episode.

Jason also has Craig, Grant and Nashville Steve Rempis with him to help give you a warm and loving send-off with the possible hope and prospect of a potential sister, spin-off podcast that’s very similar to this one… (But believe it or not, Listeners, that’s kind of up to you… Pay attention to everything written in red below.) More on this new songwriting-related podcast during this episode…
