Welcome to the Awesome Mix podcast! A show where we discuss all of our favorite music, review new albums, and discover and rediscover oldies and classics. All this over a warm cup, cold pint or fancy glass as we try out and review new coffees, beers and liquors. Sometimes, we might even discuss the Marvel Cinematic Universe because it’s our show and we do what we want!
