Song Exploder is a podcast where musicians take apart their songs, and piece by piece, tell the story of how they were made. Each episode is produced and edited by host and creator Hrishikesh Hirway in Los Angeles. Using the isolated, individual tracks from a recording, Hrishikesh asks artists to delve into the specific decisions that went into creating their work. Hrishikesh edits the interviews, removing his side of the conversation and condensing the story to be tightly focused on how the artists brought their songs to life. Guests include Björk, U2, Metallica, Solange, and over a hundred more.

Role : Production Assistant

My responsibilities on the show deal primarily with helping to streamline the audio production process. I set up equipment for recording sessions, research and provide background info on guests, transcribe audio from interviews, help write ad-reads for the show and assist in editing, and help out with day-to-day operations for the show.
