Our namesake episode is all about the hallowed mixtape. From memories of these momentous mementos to understanding their cultural significance and optimistically hoping for the future survival of the format, the crew comes to terms with what it meant to give and receive compilation cassettes. Elsewhere Bobby recalls his introduction to underground culture via mixtapes from a punk rock mentor and we unspool a few special songs composed in tribute to these tokens of affection and sonic exploration.
