🎧 Let’s Make a Playlist

Let’s Make a Playlist is the show where music obsession meets joyful overthinking.

Each episode, I sit down with artists, writers, musicians, and fellow audio nerds to build a themed playlist from scratch. We explore the lost art of making mix tapes, CD’s and playlists while reflecting on the music that made them.

It’s part hang, part deep dive, part musical archaeology.

By the end, you’ll have:

• A 12 song playlist

• A bunch of new artists to explore

• A better understanding of the music that inspires each guest
