Song Exploder
This has become one of the most listened-to and acclaimed music podcasts going, now celebrating its 10th year running. The premise is simple: an artist speaks about one of their songs, breaking it apart — exploding it, if you will — to explain how the track came to fruition. Song Exploder's ever-growing popularity has meant it has welcomed the likes of R.E.M., Lindsey Buckingham, Madonna and Kae Tempest during its 260+ episodes thus far.
And to celebrate its 10th anniversary, there is now a special, deluxe edition episode of its very first pilot episode (which aired on 1st January 2014) that focuses on The Postal Service's The District Sleeps Alone Tonight, with new interviews and insights added in.
