Episode Welcome to Songs To Live By
Songs To Live By is a podcast celebrating Black culture through the shared love of music. Host Vick Hope is joined by two guests, from different generations, to share the songs that shaped them. Each guest brings two songs and each episode is a journey into their lives, our history and some great music - new and old.
That’s guests like Doc Brown, Mica Paris and Tiffany Calver; all picking tracks and swapping stories about themselves and their experiences growing up. These are the songs that make us who we are. Songs that help us tell our stories. Songs that express our struggles. Songs that celebrate Black excellence. These are Songs To Live By.
