Songwriters Parker Welling and Lydia Vaughan have launched Women’s Writes, a new podcast built around the stories, relationships and decisions behind songs. The first guest is Lauren Alaina, with whom Welling and Vaughan have written multiple songs. MusicRow reports that new episodes arrive on Thursdays, with guest conversations every other week and shorter solo installments between them.
The format gives the show two useful engines instead of relying on the same interview structure every week. Guest episodes can explore collaboration and craft through specific songs, while the solo episodes give Welling room to begin with a lyric, story or question and follow the idea into creativity, psychology, history or another connected subject.
For podcast creators, the launch is a good example of building a clear editorial identity around access rather than celebrity alone. The promise is not simply “musicians talking.” It is a closer look at how songs and creative partnerships take shape, with a repeatable rhythm that can keep the feed active between larger guest interviews.
