S06E11 - Walk Straight Down the Middle

And now it's time for the b-sides, collaborations, and other era
songs for The Sensual World era of Kate's music. This week, we're
talking about a song that's both a b-side AND an album track. Or at
least, a bonus track, if you bought the cassette or the CD. And
that is a song that Kate recorded in about 24 hours (!!) and was
the last song recorded for the album: Walk Straight Down The
Middle. We have a frequent guest for this show, young Kate fan
Diego Ortega, to talk about this song, which he cites as one of his
favorites! We talk about what this song means to us. What does the
title mean? And how about that rather skeletal and spooky
production? Is this Kate's take on synth pop? And how about those
BRAAAAAHHHH sounds at the end? It's all here in this week's
episode! If you love the show, come support us on Patreon! You can
