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

0:30.8	Hi, this is Dahlia Lithwick, host of Slates 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.

1:31.7	to explore the possible pathways out of the current situation.
