As longtime listeners of the music podcast can attest, this represents a departure from the standard formula. Song Exploder is fundamentally an interview show that minimizes the interviewer and emphasizes the music, with creator Hrishikesh Hirway typically building each episode with active participation from the artist. It’s a process that equally involves extracting music stems as it does the artist’s thinking of what went into them.
When I asked if this experience made him want to produce more archive-driven episodes in the future, Hirway was skeptical. “No, I don’t think so, and not simply because it was a lot more work than usual,” he said. “If there were another circumstance where a generation-defining artist had made a song, and every take in the studio was recorded, along with the chatter between takes, and every interview was preserved, and all the home recordings were still intact … then I think I would be down.
The result is one of the more enjoyable shows I’ve heard all year, and certainly the most interesting entry in the bumper crop of celebrity-led podcasts that has been flooding the charts these days. What I particularly appreciate about the show is how it never seems to settle for the most obvious version of what it could be: The guests aren’t always famous , the path of each episode isn’t always expected, and the emotional arcs of each story aren’t always clean.
I’ll miss the Marshall-Hobbes era, but you gotta put yourself first. In any case, I’m excited to see what Hobbes gets up to next and where Marshall will take the show moving forward.
