Before we get started, I want to tell you about another

radiotopia podcast that you should already be listening to.

Song Exploder.

Song Exploder is the award-winning show about the creative process behind music

Artists break down one of their songs letting you hear all the different layers in the recording from from instruments to beats to vocals, and most importantly,

they talk about why they made the creative choices they did.

Song Exploder is not just for music nerds, it's for anyone really, everyone who cares about

creativity or wants to feel inspired to create something themselves. Song

Exploder is hosted by Risha Kesh Hirway, who you might know from other podcasts, like The West Wing Weekly.

There are over 250 episodes of Song Exploder already out there and my recommendation is to start with an episode featuring an artist that you love and then right afterwards listen to one with an artist you don't know at all

Song Exploder is really a great way to discover new music.

It's a different kind of experience to get introduced to a song this way,

learning how and why each piece and idea came together,

before you hear the whole song at the end.
