First podcast i listened to on PH and what a great one. Really like the idea of Song Exploder and will for sure listen to more episodes. Wish PH podcast page had easy link to "back catalogue";

@imrat great idea. We're exploring something like this.

I've heard so many good things about Song Exploder, but I've never taken the plunge. Do you have a favorite episode?
Shannon Byrne
@alexcartaz I haven't listened to all of them, but Tune-Yards is definitely a fav so far. However, I am listening to Unknown Mortal Orchestra's episode now, so it might be a close tie. :) http://songexploder.net/tune-yards

Wow, love the concept of Song Exploder. I see they've done an episode with Tycho and RJD2. Will have to listen later. Nice hunt, @shannnonb.

@rrhoover thanks! It really is an awesome concept. I'm obsessed with process and music, so it's like the perfect marriage of the two. :)

Love the opportunity given to musicians by this format to offer context about themselves and the piece. It facilitates music discovery from the consumer in a big way. I know this first hand, specifically on this song: I first heard Sylvan Esso on Seattle's KEPX YouTube channel, from which I threw myself into disparate sources of research for the duo.
