Episode 131: Word by Word
Jessica talks with Hrishikesh Hirway, musician and host of Song Exploder, The West Wing Weekly, and other podcasts, about what they’ve been doing to entertain themselves while social distancing. Hrishi talks about doing puzzles, and compares the process of editing to
dumping out all the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle on the table. But, the thing is, you’re not going to use all the pieces. You have a lot of extra. It’s like if you had three different jigsaw puzzles dumped onto the table, but you’re only trying to figure out one of them.
