Song Exploder
A podcast where musicians take apart their songs, and piece by piece, tell the story of how they were made. If you’re usually the kind of person who listens to music, rather than podcasting, Song Exploder might be your best bet. Featuring the stories behind popular songs — the first episode explores the Postal Service’s “The District Sleeps Alone Tonight,” just for an example of what kind of music Hrishi Hirway gets into — Song Exploder examines every element, from the conception to the recording to the production of a song.
