111: Mixed Opportunities Oct 04, 2021

Show notes

It's a game!

Remember when you'd get a random mixtape, or burned CD handed to you, and you had no idea who or what was on it?

Or maybe you found it lying around somewhere.

You popped it in, and fell in love with some songs you may have otherwise never heard.

This was the idea behind this episode. David gave Aaron a 'mystery mix'. David didn't include a track listing, with the intent of getting a blind reaction from Aaron.

Check out the mix, before listening to the episode to avoid spoilers!
