The Songwriter Diaries is a podcast created and hosted by Caroline Stump and Megan Ellsworth. Both Songwriting and Music Business graduates from the University of Colorado Denver, these young professionals hope to shed a light on the creative and business aspects of the music industry. By interviewing fellow songwriters, mentors, and music industry professionals, Stump and Ellsworth showcase a wide array of valuable perspectives on pursuing a career in music. Through these discussions riddled with tangential topics, obnoxious laughter, mental health checks, strange noises, and questionable audio takes, these two amateur podcasters express their love for their craft and their peers.
