Great podcast, if you like songs or storytelling. I love hearing the process and story behind the music, great skills at interviewing as well.
Really fascinating and helpful

he said what?

I came to "Tell Me About Your Song" via "Song Exploder," and I'm really pleased that I did. I'm a music fan and aspiring songwriter, so this podcast really floats my boat. It gives some really interesting insight into quite diverse processes of the chosen songwriters. The host, Jacob Haller, is a talented songwriter himself, and his intelligent and profound questions are very often what I'd ask myself. I highly recommend this to music enthusiasts and/or songwriters.
Great angle on songwriting

I love the format of diving deep into one song: hearing the musician to musician conversation with questions about lyrics, themes, instruments, chord choices... As a musician who lived in Rhode Island for 5 years, it’s a great way to get my “Rhode Island fix” and continue the connection with a state filled with great music-makers. It was great to hear Jacob Haller turn the magnifying glass on himself as a guest once, and also to hear the ways he gets songwriters to say a lot — even when they start out thinking they have nothing much to say!
