S17 E6: Dani Larkin
Episode 6
Thursday, 22 January, 2026
I thought long and hard about what I wanted to say in the introduction today. I’ve felt quite rattled with some of what’s been in the news, especially these last few weeks, let alone years, and it’s kind of taken over my brain. But, I recalled a few words from Joe Strummer many years ago saying "People are out there doing bad things to each other. It's because they're being dehumanised. It's time to take humanity back into the centre of the ring and follow that for a time." Music has always been there for me. It’s always been my friend and I’m pretty sure it always will be. It’s the one constant and I think as humans we need some constants in our lives when we live in what feels like endless uncertainty and volatility. I often wonder what role music has to play today and I think this is one of them, whether you are a musician, creator, listener, whatever. That ability to connect and be relatable. I’m delighted to have Dani Larkin with me today, a songwriter who embodies that humanity, that connection and blends the old school with the new school in songwriting and arrangement that are as individualistic as they are beautiful. https://www.iwannajumplikedeedee.comI Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee is the music podcast that does music interviews differently.
