"What show has made better, more innovative, use of the unique sonic properties and creative possibilities of the podcasting medium than Song Exploder? Hrishi's impeccable curation and interview chops keep this show in perennial rotation on my podcast feed but his virtuoso use of archival audio still feels incredibly fresh and inventive over a decade after its first episode."

-Will DiNovi, Hot Docs Podcast Festival

Song Exploder offers a rare, almost forensic intimacy with the creative process, inviting musicians to deconstruct their work piece by piece until a finished song feels like both a mystery solved and a miracle unveiled. With its minimalist structure and reverent tone, the podcast avoids commentary in favor of letting artists narrate their own choices—technical, emotional, accidental—transforming production into narrative. At once precise and poetic, Song Exploder turns listening into an act of deeper attention, revealing the invisible architecture behind music we thought we already understood. It's a quiet, elegant homage to craft, and to the beauty of process itself.
