About
Tiny Desk Breakdown Hour is the show for fans of NPR’s Tiny Desk concerts and anyone who loves discovering new music. Each week, we focus on one Tiny Desk performance by diving into the setlists, breaking down the artistry and influences of songs, and exploring the instrumentation. After we discuss the performance, we’ll take a look at artists with similar sounds, or influences, to give you the perfect playlist to keep the Tiny Desk craze going. Whether you’re a Tiny Desk superfan like me or just curious about the music, Tiny Desk Breakdown Hour is going to be such a fun place where we can all bring something to the art we love.

Ellie Pod
Hey there! I’m Ellie Pod the host of Tiny Desk Breakdown Hour, where I get to nerd out with you over all things NPR Tiny Desk. I have been in two wonderful bands, singing and playing bass in the Chicago music scene, and now I am here to share my experiences and talk music with you on the radio mic. These days, you’ll find me at Chicago’s legendary music venue Metro, either working Guest List or Ticketing. Tiny Desk concerts have a special place in my heart, and I can’t wait to share the sets, similar artists, and the pure joy I find in these performances with you every week.
