'''''Song Exploder''''' is a [[music podcast]] created by [[Hrishikesh Hirway]], who hosted it from its 2014 inception until late 2018 and again from December 2019 onwards. In January 2019, [[Thao Nguyen]] became a guest host for the year, with Christian Koons serving as producer, and Hirway moving to executive producer. The [[biweekly]] show features musicians talking about the creative process behind an individual song while "deconstructing" the song into its component parts. As of 2021, the show's team is composed of host and producer Hirway, illustrator Carlos Lerma, and Music Clearance Director Kathleen Smith.

The podcast launched on the [[Maximum Fun]] network, became independent in February 2015 and joined [[Radiotopia]] in June 2015.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Thanks to Song Exploder & The Memory Palace|url=http://jessethorn.tumblr.com/post/111237056756/thanks-to-song-exploder-the-memory-palace|work=Jesse Thorn: Tumbler|date=February 16, 2015|access-date=May 16, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Song Exploder Joins Radiotopia - PRX|url=https://blog.prx.org/2015/06/song-exploder-joins-radiotopia/|work=[[Public Radio Exchange]]|date=June 11, 2015|access-date=May 16, 2016|language=en-US|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180706191632/https://blog.prx.org/2015/06/song-exploder-joins-radiotopia/|archive-date=July 6, 2018}}</ref>
