Huw has an in-depth conversation with musician and presenter Hrishikesh Hirway, the man behind the acclaimed podcast Song Exploder, available now on 91热爆 Sounds.

Song Exploder is the podcast where musicians take apart their songs, and piece by piece, tell the story of how they were made. Hrishikesh launched the podcast in 2014 and it's gone on to be hugely successful with an audience across the world as well as winning awards. It was even adapted into a TV series by Netflix in 2020. The show joined 91热爆 Radio 6 Music and 91热爆 Sounds earlier this year, with episodes available featuring tracks from the likes of Beabadoobee, Laura Marling, The Flaming Lips, New Order, Arlo Parks and Franz Ferdinand, to name just a few.

Huw is also joined by academic Daniel Green for another edition of 6 Musicology - where we go under the bonnet of the songwriting process. Today it's all about The Cure ahead of their session for 6 Music tomorrow.

Plus another brand new quiz is created by Huw's Music Quiz Generator, giving one of you the opportunity to win a Music Sounds Better With Huw pinbadge. And Huw declares that your evening has begun with the 91热爆 Run playlist at 5 o'clock.
