00:00:12,373 --> 00:00:16,933
Speaker 1: follow this and our wide range of podcast now on iHeartRadio.

3
00:00:16,653 --> 00:00:18,493
Speaker 2: News Talks it Be Well. You might have heard her

4
00:00:18,493 --> 00:00:20,732
Speaker 2: on the show yesterday talking about that wild weather in

5
00:00:20,773 --> 00:00:23,653
Speaker 2: the South. The very talented Leanne Malcolm, a renowned reporter

6
00:00:23,692 --> 00:00:26,733
Speaker 2: and news presenter. She's now singing a very different tune,

7
00:00:26,813 --> 00:00:29,452
Speaker 2: quite literally, embracing a long how dream to write and

8
00:00:29,573 --> 00:00:32,452
Speaker 2: release her own music. She's celebrating the launch of her

9
00:00:32,533 --> 00:00:35,573
Speaker 2: latest album, First Rodeo. We'll give you those details shortly,

10
00:00:35,573 --> 00:00:38,493
Speaker 2: but a pleasure to welcome Leanne Malcolm back to the show.

11
00:00:38,613 --> 00:00:40,653
Speaker 3: Hi, Leanne, Hey, how are you too?

12
00:00:41,173 --> 00:00:44,333
Speaker 4: Very good? Do we call you Leanne or Gina in

13
00:00:44,373 --> 00:00:45,492
Speaker 4: your musical interviews?

14
00:00:45,732 --> 00:00:49,932
Speaker 3: It's so schizophrenic, it's awful. I kind of had this

15
00:00:49,973 --> 00:00:52,172
Speaker 3: wacky idea when I started that. I thought, oh, well,

16
00:00:52,573 --> 00:00:56,293
Speaker 3: maybe it's good to kind of distance myself from my past,

17
00:00:56,373 --> 00:00:58,853
Speaker 3: and it might also help give some confidence when you're

18
00:00:58,853 --> 00:01:01,013
Speaker 3: performing any and you sort of you know, so you're

19
00:01:01,013 --> 00:01:02,893
Speaker 3: a different person to what you were. So that was

20
00:01:02,933 --> 00:01:05,053
Speaker 3: where a gena came in. So you YouTube, guys, I

21
00:01:05,053 --> 00:01:06,653
Speaker 3: don't mind well speaking.

22
00:01:06,413 --> 00:01:09,053
Speaker 4: Of distancing yourself with your past. Just take you back

23
00:01:09,093 --> 00:01:11,453
Speaker 4: there for a second. How different are the worlds of

24
00:01:11,573 --> 00:01:14,092
Speaker 4: music and news reporting, like.

25
00:01:14,212 --> 00:01:20,413
Speaker 3: Talking to yous so so incredibly different, And yet I

26
00:01:20,453 --> 00:01:22,453
Speaker 3: was thinking, you know, I was thinking about this, and

27
00:01:22,493 --> 00:01:25,372
Speaker 3: I thought, there is there is a correlation because the

28
00:01:25,413 --> 00:01:28,973
Speaker 3: common link is when you're reporting or your news reading,

29
00:01:28,973 --> 00:01:32,652
Speaker 3: you're telling a story, aren't you so? And music tells

30
00:01:32,652 --> 00:01:35,253
Speaker 3: the story and songwriting tells a story. So there is

31
00:01:35,373 --> 00:01:39,493
Speaker 3: that in common. But I think in every other way

32
00:01:39,613 --> 00:01:42,973
Speaker 3: it's fastly different. And news it's factual, it's serious, it's

33
00:01:42,973 --> 00:01:47,133
Speaker 3: black and white. You know, you're you're writing about events,

34
00:01:47,292 --> 00:01:50,892
Speaker 3: Whereas when you're writing a song, as you know, Matt,

35
00:01:50,933 --> 00:01:56,213
Speaker 3: you're using different language. You can also repeat things for effect,

36
00:01:56,293 --> 00:01:58,373
Speaker 3: as I'm doing blood Less for quite a lot, like

37
00:01:58,413 --> 00:02:01,453
Speaker 3: it's like, you know, I'm not okay, And it's like

38
00:02:01,653 --> 00:02:04,453
Speaker 3: it's been a real, a really interesting learning curve to

39
00:02:04,533 --> 00:02:07,333
Speaker 3: see how you can play with words as a songwriter.

40
00:02:07,493 --> 00:02:10,573
Speaker 4: Tell us about First Radio your album, would you describe

41
00:02:10,613 --> 00:02:11,733
Speaker 4: it as old country?

42
00:02:12,013 --> 00:02:14,413
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's the best description, if you have

43
00:02:14,493 --> 00:02:18,732
Speaker 3: to give it one. Some people would call it Americana.

44
00:02:19,813 --> 00:02:22,213
Speaker 3: I don't know about that term. I'm not quite sure

45
00:02:22,573 --> 00:02:24,853
Speaker 3: what that means. And sometimes when you do give things

46
00:02:24,853 --> 00:02:28,213
Speaker 3: a genre, it's really it's really odd because it sort

47
00:02:28,213 --> 00:02:30,093
Speaker 3: of a stricts you awey bit. But I think I

48
00:02:30,093 --> 00:02:33,653
Speaker 3: think definitely yeah, my leanings and my love I do

49
00:02:33,813 --> 00:02:36,493
Speaker 3: have a bird of a thing about country music. It's

50
00:02:36,493 --> 00:02:40,933
Speaker 3: blame my mum actually, because she was a massive country

51
00:02:41,013 --> 00:02:42,852
Speaker 3: music fan and we had we were exposed to a

52
00:02:42,853 --> 00:02:45,653
Speaker 3: lot of Johnny Cash and Hank Williams and lots of

53
00:02:45,653 --> 00:02:46,853
Speaker 3: people like that growing up.
