It was based on how making Song Exploder has changed the way I think about conversations and connecting with people. My talk came out today on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/hrishikesh_hirway_what_you_discover_when_you_really_listen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TED website<\/a> and on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ted.com\/about\/programs-initiatives\/ted-talks\/ted-talks-daily\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TED Talks Daily podcast,<\/a> and the very nice folks at TED asked if I would also put the audio of the talk here, on Song Exploder. And I normally wouldn\u2019t put this much of myself on here, but they asked, and like I said, they were very nice. I hope this isn\u2019t too meta, to talk about the show, and what I get out of making it. But it also features some music, including beautiful cello played by Yo-Yo Ma, so there\u2019s that to look forward to. Here it is, my TED Talk on what you learn when you listen closely.<\/p>\n<div style=\"max-width:100%\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.ted.com\/talks\/hrishikesh_hirway_what_you_discover_when_you_really_listen\" width=\"854\" height=\"480\" style=\"position:absolute;left:0;top:0;width:100%;height:100%\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/ffm.to\/betweenthereandhere\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">listen to my song with Yo-Yo Ma here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CxPgW_UfhNQ\" width=\"600\" height=\"330\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block;
