Episode 4 - Hrishikesh Hirway - The Song Exploder

Hrishikesh Hirway is a musician, composer, and podcast host/producer.

In 2014 he created one of my very favorite Podcasts Song Exploder where musicians talk about the creative process behind an individual song while "deconstructing" the song into its component parts.

Two years later he started The West Wing Weekly podcast, which he co-hosts with Joshua Malina who played Will Bailey for four seasons of The West Wing 

He has made records as The One AM Radio, and scored the television show Everything Sucks!, and the films Our Nixon and Save The Date.

Hrishi was born in Massachusetts and now lives in Los Angeles and is married to Lindsey Mortensen, a fashion designer.
