About the Program

Blake “Luxxury” Robin and Diallo Riddle break down the song that started it all: "Blitzkrieg Bop" by the Ramones. Hear the untold stories of this punk prophecy that launched punk in the United States. Hey ho, let’s go!

ONE SONG is an award-winning music podcast where friends Diallo Riddle (Emmy-nominated star and creator of HBO Max’s South Side and IFC’s Sherman’s Showcase) and Blake "LUXXURY" Robin (songwriter, producer, KCRW DJ, and TikTok “interpolation” whisperer) hilariously break down one song from the pop music canon that you know—or need to know—but have never heard quite like this. The show was named top 25 of the year by The Atlantic, and has featured guests from Devo to Lil’ Jon.

About the Hosts and Special Guest

Blake “LUXXURY” Robin isn’t just “the guy who whispers "interpolation” to one million followers on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube; the LA-based producer, songwriter, and musicologist is also one half of One Song, a weekly video and podcast (named a top 25 show by The Atlantic) alongside co-host Diallo Riddle.

You can also hear Robin on the radio, DJing on KCRW every Friday night from 10:00 pm–midnight (after Henry Rollins). His music is in dozens of film, TV, and games; and he’s “the guy who almost got sued by Don Henley" for his white label remixes.

As an expert on the topic of musical borrowing, he is a frequent guest on NPR, Rolling Stone, Arte TV, podcasts, and on his own viral videos which have been viewed over 200 million times. Robin is currently working a book on the topic for Oxford University Press, to be titled How to ‘Steal’ Music (OUP, 2026). 

Diallo Riddle is an accomplished, multi-faceted talent within the entertainment industry; NAACP Image Award–winning director; and EMMY- and WGA-nominated writer, actor, showrunner, and producer. Today, Riddle continues to cultivate his passion for music as the co-creator and co-host of the very popular One Song podcast. Alongside his co-host LUXXURY, Diallo goes on a deep dive of literally one song per episode, exploring its creative origins, the artists involved, the culture out of which it was born, and the legacy it leaves behind. The One Song podcast allows Riddle to merge his two creative loves, comedy and music, while sharing his expansive knowledge of and passion for the art form. It’s also a platform that invites listeners into his personal journey as a musician and DJ, and offers an insider’s look into the creative process.

Riddle currently lives in the LA area with his wife Brittany, their children, and a 100-lb sheepadoodle.
