Setting The Standard: Stories From The Great American Songbook

by Warner Chappell Music

These are the songs you've been singing your whole life, but you might not know who wrote them... Setting the Standard: Stories from the Great American Songbook, a new podcast from Warner Chappell Music, BANG and Audiation, explores the stories behind some of the most influential and treasured songs ever written - the songs from the Great American Songbook. Replete with key interviews from a bevy of cultural icons such as Billy Corgan, Michael Feinstein, and Alan Bergman, this podcast grants the listener unparalleled access into the world of this formative era in music history. Hosted by Joe Levy of Rolling Stone, Billboard, and VH1, each episode focuses on a different legendary songwriter or team, using historical sources intertwined with new interviews with scholars, critics, and family members to tell the stories of their lives, filtered through the lens of their most iconic songs.
