Song by Song is a podcast celebrating the music of Tom Waits, hosted by podcaster-musician Martin Zaltz Austwick and actor-musician Sam Pay. Sam and Martin set themselves the goal of listening to Tom Waits’s back catalogue from beginning to end, and devoting an episode to discussing each track. Song by Song is in no way officially linked to Tom Waits, or endorsed by Tom Waits, or associates. All excerpts are used for criticism purposes - please purchase your own copies of the music at your favourite shop, app, or platform to get the full experience and support musicians' work.

episode 6: The Heart of Saturday Night, The Heart of Saturday Night, Tom Waits [018]
Sam, Martin and Alice arrive at the album's title track, and discover that the Heart of Saturday Night is perhaps something a little less grand than one might imagine. Stumbling through the surprises, the accidental encounters and the distant relatives dropping calling without warning all prove a heady night's entertainment.
Song by Song is Martin Zaltz Austwick and Sam Pay; two musicians listening to and discussing every single Tom Waits track in chronological order.
