Podcast Description
Welcome to the Sounds Like Us podcast, where we discover new amateur artists, the music they make and the music and memories that inspire them. Each week, we select music from the selection sent to us, and we play 3 tracks from three separate artists. We also interview one at the end, asking about the music, memories and life stories that shaped who they are and what they do.
