One of the most wonderful things about music is the ability it has to transport us to another time, another place or another mood. In addition to skillful composition of lyrics and melody, part of the way it does this is through sound design - and this is a trick that podcasters can also learn from. This principle is illustrated wonderfully by Spotify exclusive podcast Decode, which not only breaks down seminal UK hip hop albums track by track, but also weaves these explorations into a rich and immersive soundscape. 

This week, Rhianna hears from the team behind Decode - including poet and presenter Kayo Chingonyi, composer Axel Kacoutié and managing director at Reduced Listening Joby Waldman - as part of a session from Podcast Day 24, produced in collaboration with the British Podcast Awards and RadioDays Europe, where they explain their approach to research, how they incorporate foley effects, and the role of fair usage rights in their creative process.

Hosted by Rhianna Dhillon, and produced by Emma Corsham for Haymarket Business Media.
