In this special Part B, Josh and Cam are joined by the brilliant songwriter Sally Seltman, the mind behind Feist’s 1234. Sally shares the story of how the song came to life, from its first spark to becoming one of the most iconic indie-pop tracks of the 2000s.

Josh and Cam dive into Feist’s endlessly catchy 1234, the earworm that went from indie darling to global smash thanks to an iPod Nano ad and the songwriting magic of Sally Seltman.
