Summary

Thao Nguyen has been guest hosting Song Exploder this year, with Christian Koons producing, to give Hrishikesh a little room to daydream. That’s all been possible because of the support of Radiotopia listeners. In this bonus episode, Thao says goodbye, and we break down the intro music that Hrishi made to go with Thao’s time as guest host. Thanks to everyone who has listened this year.

0:00.0	You're listening to Song Exploder, where musicians take apart their songs and piece by piece
0:06.0	tell the story of how they remained.

0:49.8	didn't have time to act on a daydream and try and turn it into something.
0:54.0	The idea was that I would have more room to work on some new ideas.
0:58.2	And I'm happy to say that I've got some new projects coming out next year that I'm really
