From Song Exploder to "In the Last Hour of Light:" Hrishikesh Hirway is sharing his whole self

Hrishikesh Hirway is best known as the host of the hit podcast Song Exploder - where he asks musicians to break down their creative process. Last spring, KALW’s Music Director Tshego Letsoalo got the distinct privilege of creating a sort of offshoot to Hirway’s podcast with Song Exploder Remix. Each week she stitches together a few episodes from the podcast around a common theme. And the only place you can hear it is on KALW!Now, Hirway has released an album of his own, called In the Last Hour of Light. He’ll be performing here in the Bay this coming weekend. Tshego spoke with Hear-way to learn more about his relationship with music. Here’s part of their conversation.
