Song Exploder - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I am deeply in love with this podcast. I lead a solitary life and podcasts fill some of the void of not being part of the world. The presentation format is perfect. I enjoy hearing how each song came to be and often cry at the sweetness the artists express. Thank you for enriching our lives with these masterpieces. ❤️

As a behind the scenes junkie, I love hearing the from the creators of songs I know and new-to-me songs. It’s a quick and easy way to discover new music and dive deeper into songs and artists I already love.

I’ve loved listening to this show for years, with its unique style walking alongside an artist in the creation of one song. But the interview with Hanif Abdurraqib, about his deep listening to one song, was also wonderful! Their conversation invited me into new ways of thinking about the songs I love. Thank you!

This podcast is superb.
Hriahikesh Hirway had a great vision for what will serve listeners in a compelling way, and he stayed at it in pursuit of excellence. Once he proved it was a thing, more and more accomplished artists signed on to be interviewed. Short, sweet, perfect.
