Song Exploder

Song Exploder

Not everyone is satisfied with listening to a song and simply enjoying it. Some like to learn more about the song. Are you someone who has an almost unquenchable desire to understand why a musician wrote one of their most popular songs and what went into the writing and producing it? If this sounds like you, then you should consider exploring the Song Exploder music podcast.

Song Exploder is insanely popular and has become one of the most well-known and listened-to podcasts of 2021, partly thanks to the spin-off Netflix series. This innovative podcast was created by Hrishikesh Hirway and is hosted by the talented Thao Nguyen who’s melodic voice entertains the ears of all DIY musicians out there. During an episode, which is usually 30 minutes or less, a famed musician will discuss one of their songs and break down how it was created or “explode” it. In the past, the guest list has been impressive and continues to be as the podcast series becomes more popular with different audiences. Featured on some of the episodes include artists like R.E.M, Iggy Pop, Maggie Rogers, and even rock legends Metallica.
