These are my favorite type of podcasts as well. Do you have any recommendations, I'm always looking for new stuff?

'giving "civilians" a glimpse inside the creative process'

One of my favorite podcasts is Song Exploder. Artists talk about how they create a specific song, including the thought process, context, and history behind specific sounds and segments that make up the song, and then the song is played in full at the end. It covers quite a variety of genres.

I don't object to any genre wholesale, but there's only a couple that I really like listening to. But the story and creative process that is broken down in Song Exploder is completely agnostic from the genre it was produced under and is interesting enough for me to drop any other podcast I'm playing to listen regardless of the genre.

I'll give that a shot, thanks.
Probably my current favorite is Tuesdays With Stories[0]. It's a consistently funny show and a unique look into the lives of a couple of comedians with pretty distinct personalities as they continue to progress in their careers. I've had the chance to meet both of them and they're awesome dudes as well.

Awesome, I live in NYC too so maybe I can go check their sets.
