    Special Episode: ”Summer of Music”

    In this episode, we talk about the music and sounds that are associated with summer – a special time of year that is filled with travel, vacations, graduations, family reunions, and all sorts of transitions.  Our guests Adam DeSorgo, Ellie Matsusaka, Danniel Anthon and Andrew Lane share their memories which include some of the “ancient ways” that we listened to music in the car before Bluetooth. This includes the tradition of mixtapes that functioned as social tokens and practical economics. Our guests also share their own playlist recommendations that we hope you will recognize, relate to and enjoy!
