Michael Gaither‘s resume would certainly catch the attention of any Personnel Director: journalist, corporate trainer, joke writer, podcast producer, songwriter, emcee, performer.  Indeed, all of these elements of Gaither’s life seem to amalgamate into the numerous ways he is able to approach music and songwriting.  He is host of the podcast series Songs And Stories (broadcast Saturday at 8AM and Sunday at 5PM, Central Time on KC Cafe Radio), where he interviews and records live performances with other musicians, and shares the stories behind his own songs.  The podcast is currently in its tenth year of production.  He has also released five albums to date, the most recent titled Hey Karma, in 2017.

Recently, KC Cafe Radio Music Director Kathy Forste talked with Gaither via Skype at his home in Watsonville, California.  They talk about his journey from journalist to songwriter, and how Songs and Stories was born.  They also talk about the art of songwriting, and the “hidden gems” he has discovered buried deep within the songwriting universe.  They also talk about his latest album, Hey Karma, and the inspiration behind the songs.
