Recorded History

Recorded History, hosted by Ed Smith, is a series where you get to hear about the lives and histories of your favourite artists… and theirs. New episodes released every Sunday feature Ed in conversation with homegrown and international musicians, writers, artists and creatives about the three records that have defined their lives. This isn’t yet another podcast highlighting the coolest, edgiest or most rarefied records people have in their collection – it’s not even just for people “in the know”. This is a podcast for everyone, where we celebrate the personal relationship people have with the music they listen to. You'll hear some unexpected musical choices, featuring forgotten favourites from across the musical spectrum from rock, to house, to pop alongside fascinating personal histories from our guests. Whether it’s an album that soundtracked their first breakup, a song they danced to at a wedding or a cassette they wore down while learning to drive – Ed warmly and humorously guides his guests through their musical memories. Created and executive produced by Dee Reddy for GoLoud, the show is proudly supported by TheRecordHub.com

Shania Twain: Giddy Up For… Dolly, Driving And Dancing On Chairs

Our first guest on Recorded History impressed us very much (we're not even sorry). Shania Twain is the best-selling female artist in country music history and one of the best-selling musicians of all time, having sold more than a 100 million records. Which made her decision to be our first guest on the podcast even more generous... although our trailer did chart in Ireland so there is that. Recorded History is as much about the memories and feelings that music inspires as it is about the music itself. Which means we cover Harry Styles, driving in cars and Fisher Price record players. Shania's Records: 1. Breakfast in America - Supertramp (1979) 2. Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D'Arby - Terence Trent D'Arby (1987) 3. Born To Die - Lana Del Ray (2012) If Shania inspires you to go and buy one of the records she mentions (or just one from your own Recorded History) then we’d love if you supported our partners at TheRecordHub.com.
