The popular podcast Song Exploder, which launched by Hrishikesh Hirway back in 2014, has been adapted into a Netflix series and set to premiere next month on October 2nd.
Just like the podcast, each episode in the Netflix adaptation will be based around the breakdown of a chosen song alongside its writers/performer–usually within the pop spectrum. The first season will feature episodes centering around “3 Hour Drive” by Alicia Keys, “Losing My Religion” by R.E.M., “Wait for It” by Lin-Manuel Miranda as heard in Hamilton, and “L.A.” by Ty Dolla $ign.
“As a teenager, I used to sit in my room and listen to music while poring over the lyrics and liner notes and artwork until I could almost feel myself living in the world of the artist,”Hirway said in a statement. “It was the most incredible feeling, and with Song Exploder, I wanted to take that feeling and go even further. It’s been so exciting to turn it into a television show, because it’s provided a chance to immerse yourself in the music — and the ideas behind the music — in a deeper way than I ever imagined.”
