14 分钟You're listening to Song Exploder,
where musicians take apart their songs and piece by piece tell the story of how they were made.
I'm Rishikesh Hirway.
If you haven't heard the news yet,
Tao Nguyen from the band Tao and the Get Down Stay Down is taking over for me as the host of this podcast,
starting in January 2019.
I'm going to step a little further into the background,
and she'll be the one interviewing the artists, and you'll hear her voice introducing each episode.
So I wanted to reissue the episode from April 2016,
where she was the guest, breaking down one of her own songs.
You can get to know her better if you missed it the first time around,
or re-listen to it if you heard it then.
Tao and I have hung out a few times in person, but when we did the interview for this episode,
it was over the phone, and it was the first time we'd spoken.
By the time the hour had passed, it seemed clear to me that she was a kind,
smart, and sensitive person who was thoughtful about art and process.
For all those reasons, I'm so excited that soon she'll be hosting Song Exploder in my place.
Okay, here we go.
This episode contains explicit language.
My name is Tao Nguyen of the band Tao and the Get Down, Stay Down.
