Chris and Teri's Outro Episode - Not sure it's a thing, actually.

Three Songs that Saved You?

It's the end of Series 1 and it leaves us reflective about the profound impact of our journey. This intimate exploration of music's healing power has not only touched listeners but also transformed us.

Throughout the series, we welcomed artists and guests who bravely shared their personal stories of struggle and resilience. These conversations, often lasting hours, revealed the depth of human experience and the universal nature of our challenges.

Despite the technical difficulties, the series has already reached more listeners than anticipated. Even if we only reached a few hundred people, the project would have been worthwhile as the impact on both us and everyone involved has been immeasurable.

A striking revelation is the diverse ways we all cope with trauma and daily challenges. "Nobody needs fixing." Instead, our guests highlight the importance of creating safe spaces where we can express ourselves openly and honestly.

We hope the series also shines a light on the crucial work of charities like Nordoff and Robbins and Youth Music UK. These organizations provide vital support and opportunities for vulnerable individuals, using music as a powerful tool for healing and self-expression.

We’re considering the possibility of a second series and eager to hear from you about what worked well and what could be improved. The intimate, in-person format of the first series created a unique atmosphere, but we’re open to exploring new possibilities.

We’ve learned valuable lessons about vulnerability, the power of sharing stories, and the universal language of music. "Songs save people." This encapsulates the heart of the ‘Three Songs that Saved You?’ podcast.

Of course we want to thank everyone involved – from the guests who shared their stories to the listeners who tuned in. They've all created a body of work that will resonate and inspire long after the final episode.

This adventure serves as a testament to the healing power of music and the strength of the human spirit. It reminds us that we're not alone in our struggles and that through sharing our stories and connecting through music, we can find solace, understanding, and hope.
