My Top 15 Favorite Episodes of Song Exploder

Before I went to bed last night, I saw that the new episode of Song Exploder was with New Order for their song "Blue Monday". Loved the episode. I decided for tonight's blog post I would post a list of my Top 15 Favorite episodes of Song Exploder which I also recommend for music fans to check out.

For the people who are not familiar with Song Exploder, you can read about the podcast here under the about section. 

I started listening to Song Exploder because of Hrishikesh's limited series podcast Homecooking back in 2000. I am not sure what episode I started out with, might have been the TOKiMONSTA episode. Well I fell in love with the podcast and been listening to it since then. I just love hearing artists talk about a certain song and the creative work that went behind the songs. 

I have created a Spotify playlist Songs From Song Exploder in 2021 for fun. I really love it. It sounds like an eight hour mixtape.
