City Soundtracks
There's a particular feeling that comes from walking through a city with the right song in your ears-the way the environment and the melody start to blend, creating a private soundtrack. City Soundtracks, from Google Play Music, captures that specific alchemy and expands it into a rich, auditory exploration. Host Hrishikesh Hirway sits down with a different musician each episode, using a single city as their shared map. The conversations are less about typical travelogues and more about personal geography; you’ll hear how a specific park, a late-night diner, or a forgotten neighborhood shaped an artist’s work and worldview. The dialogue is woven with the music that emerged from those places, making each installment feel like an intimate, guided tour. This podcast understands that a city is not just a backdrop, but an active character in the stories we tell and the art we make. It’s for anyone who believes that to truly know a place, you need to listen to it-through the voices of those who have translated its rhythm into song. You’ll come away from each episode with a deeper sense of connection, hearing the hidden melodies in urban spaces everywhere.
