Pause and Play it Forward Podcast artwork

Pause and Play it Forward is a podcast by Nicola Greenbrook and Rosie Kendrick about music — old and new — and how it makes us feel. If you’re a time-stretched music lover in need of a recommendation for what to listen to next - you’re in the right place! We start with Music Club - like book club but with albums. We review two albums, old or new, one suggested by Nicola and the other by Rosie. Then there's a themed Top 5 - we select five songs each on a chosen theme then whittle it down to an ultimate Top 5 for that week! Join us for new discoveries, music memories and lots of laughs.
