Summary
We're wrapping up our series on podcasts and playlists with this final episode... In this one, Kendra and I pull back the curtain to explain more of the art and science behind our strategy on creating playlists.
How do we pick who to play when? What mood do we want to strike for which playlist? And then finally: who are some of our favorite artists, albums, and playlists?
