Mixtape Matinee: A Double Feature Podcast

We had fun talking with Abbie Borrowman about hopecore / millennial core music and movies and tv shows. We created a playlist, themed as an A side of a record and a B side of a record, with 5 songs each per side (plus Cort added some bonus songs to the end of the playlist). Check it out on YouTube below! Abbie is an artist and a Geoscience major. She brought some Gen Z perspective to the pod, since we are both old now. And Cort tried to make #Lovemaxxing a thing since he hates the looksmaxxing trend. Join us as we reminisce, talk about anime, and share our song picks.You can access the playlist here https://youtu.be/SnK-jQNdSsY?si=LMzBQTW0sGfu7VS8Follow Abbie's Instagram here https://www.instagram.com/abbieborrow?obrf=azFsbXcyY2lrZ2t3
