This week’s Radiant Mix episode features Eric Smith, CEO of Easy Star Records, a co-host with Hope McGrath, as they cover all things music and its importance in the lives of two mixed Generation Xers.  Music is the soundtrack of their lives and all of us music lovers. As long-time friends, the two have come together on the podcast to share how music influenced them as biracial kids coming from quite different backgrounds. This topic of music is so expansive that we are producing two episodes of Eric and Hope talking about the vast topic of music and how the decades of musical genres shaped their lives. Check out our Spotify Radiant Mix playlist, for 24 hours of music that have inspired Eric and Hope over the decades.  Just a tiny glimpse of their mixed musical perspectives.
