#286: Songwriting, Creative Process, and Ear Health with Doug Hoyer

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Doug Hoyer is a Canadian singer/songwriter who has garnered 1 million Spotify streams and licensed music for television. Doug's work has received critical acclaim and he works by day as a hearing aid practitioner. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I had a great conversation with Doug about his work and techniques for writing and completing music. Doug shared a ton of insights and strategies he regularly uses. He showcased his homemade telephone microphone during the show, and I may have asked him a few too many questions about ear care and hearing health. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Listen on</span> <a href= "https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/music-production-podcast/id1212124420"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">iTunes</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">or</span> <a href= "http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/music-production-podcast?refid=stpr"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Stitcher</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">or</span> <a href= "https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/Ip424c7a3w32gzox6c2bnwexy3q"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Google Play</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">or</span> <a href= "https://open.spotify.com/show/2R5hFhExyUzbI7jD7eauck"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Spotify</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">; watch on</span> <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLk4jo7_Rx2-2mjUoTXTL4u0iUH5_XqBYi"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">YouTube</span></a></p> <p><strong>Show Notes:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Doug's Site - <a href= "https://www.doughoyer.com/">https://www.doughoyer.com/</a></li> <li>Doug's Album <em>Getting Older</em> - <a href= "https://doughoyer.bandcamp.com/album/getting-older">https://doughoyer.bandcamp.com/album/getting-older</a></li> <li>"Meet Me in the Pale Moonlight" by Doug Hoyer - <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xN7NLKWol9I">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xN7NLKWol9I</a></li> <li>The Magnetic Fields - <a href= "http://www.houseoftomorrow.com/">http://ww
