Talk Direction: The 1D (& Harry Styles) Podcast / SIGN OF THE TIMES / Ever Since New York / Sweet Creature / Kiwi / One Direction / Niall Horan / This Town / Harry Styles / Liam Payne / Zayn Malik / Louis Tomlinson / Just Hold On

On this week’s episode we catch up with Zayn! He is apparently filming a music video in New York City for a new song that will be on the Aladdin soundtrack. Will he be singing a Disney classic like A Whole New World or will it be a song Zayn wrote? Zayn also released a very scenic music video for his song Stand Still. Is he going to release a music video for every song? We then play James Corden’s game Kiss, Marry, Cruise with 1D songs (ie. She’s Not Afraid, Girl Almighty, & Woman). It gets quite silly as I am sure you can imagine! Recently we asked listeners on twitter which 1D and Harry songs describe their personalities. We read listener responses and choose songs for ourselves. Plus, we introduce a new game where one person says a word, for example 'love', and the other has to sing a 1D lyric with that word in it (trust me it is MUCH harder than it seems!). Finally, we finish off the episode with a classic round of 1D as…QUEER EYE!!! We don’t quite agree with Matt Bellassai's choices!

Caitlin is back this week with Lucia to recap everything the boys have been up to in the past couple of weeks. While we may have taken a bit of a break, they certainly did not! -Niall did an acoustic version of What A Time with Julia Michaels and it was looooovellyyyyy! He has also been hitting up instagram and answering fan questions discussing topics from global warming, to WWII documentaries, to his upcoming album, to the Met Gala. Do we think Niall will get to attend the Gala and if so, what will he wear? -Liam seems to be finishing up a musical project in the studio! Will we be getting a summer BOP from him soon? -Louis is set to perform at the Free Radio Hits Live on May 4th in Birmingham. What songs will he be performing? -Harry inducted Stevie Nicks into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with a heartwarming speech. Stevie and Harry also performed her song Stop Draggin' My Heart Around and they sounded fabulous together. We can't wait for the ceremony to air later this month so we can get a high quality version of their duet. Harry has also had some ICONIC fashion moments as of late, which we deemed essential to discuss: fluctuating nail polish colors, headphones worn over two hoods, a velvet blue suit, and a witchy airport look!

Join us this week for an episode full of silly guessing games! Guess the song, finish the lyrics, and other fun games that you can play along with at home! The fandom had some very tragic news last week that Louis' sister Felicite passed away and we thought it would be nice to have a very casual light hearted and fun episode to hopefully lift our spirits a bit and give us a break from the sadness. We hope this episode does that for you too. Check out Talk Direction Down Low on patreon.com/talkdirection for EXTRA PODCAST CONTENT!!

Louis’ beautiful song Two Of Us is out now! On this episode we invite special guest Sophia to join us to talk about their experience interviewing Louis for the online publication Line of Best Fit and to discuss Louis promo and of course Louis’ new single Two Of Us. In this episode we both laugh and cry, so be prepared for lots of emotions. Louis’ live performance blew us away and his lyrics are so personal. We dig into the musical production, varying instruments used on each chorus, and what he means by “one life for the two of us”.

Louis promo season is in full swing! In this episode we talk about Louis' very own pokemon go type game where fans had to go to "hotspots" around the globe to collect interview clips. Suuuuuuuch a fun time! We discuss everything Louis said in those clips as well as the interview he did for Line of Best Fit. We recorded this *right* before we got the new single "Two of us" so we throw in our last minute predictions & hopes and generally just enjoy having a nice casual chat after the intensity of our February episodes! Next week we have a very special guest joining us for a song discussion on "Two Of Us"

Buckle up for our last #HS1 song discussion. This week we delve into Sweet Creature: unconditional love, comparisons to 1D’s Strong, plucky guitars, and the rawness of Harry’s voice. Plus we discuss LOUIS: song teaser trailers, possible upcoming live performances, single release date, and his upcoming interviews in two different magazines. It seems like #LT1 is actually coming SOON! We hypothesize about his song Two of Us and try to figure out why he removed and then re-uploaded the picture of him playing piano.
