| 0:03.0 | Pepsi Max knows the music isn't just a soundtrack. |
| 0:06.0 | It's a pulse, and every city has its own. |
| 0:09.0 | That's why they teamed up with Spotify to measure the musical taste of cities across the UK and create a |
| 0:14.9 | playlist that matches their pulse perfectly. From Glasgow's dance scene to the Rat Game |
| 0:20.1 | in Birmingham. Search for Pepsi Max's profile on Spotify to hear the music your nearest city |

| 0:29.7 | Hi, this is Dahlia Lithwick, host of Slate's legal podcast Amagus. If you are listening to this show, you might be interested in Amicus's live show that we're hosting in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, May the 14th. |

| 1:26.5 | But there's something you can do about it and we hope you'll join us in DC on May 14th |
| 1:31.7 | to explore the possible pathways out of the current situation. |

| 2:04.8 | of and a few that you barely remember playing for a grand prize of one million dollars. |
| 2:10.8 | We'll also talk to basketball legend Nancy Lieberman about what it's like for a |
| 2:14.8 | woman to coach men and we'll be joined by Brad Baluchian to discuss his quest |
