Episode 100 is a very special episode of The Swan Song Podcast where I speak to 2 people who have written songs with The Swan Song Project over recent years. Both share a bit about their song, how they found writing it and offer some advice to anyone else thinking of writing their first song.

Part 1 features Richard Gibson who wrote a song for his son Leo who died by suicide in 2021. The song is called Forever Young (Boy Wonder). You can hear it here – https://swansongproject.co.uk/forever-young-boy-wonder/
