Made this mix today & I think it has such a district color and temperature to it that I can't help but think of summer. Most of the tracks here are some of my all time most beloved favorites & I think it has a warm mood (+ beginning middle & end) that I'd like to put out into the world.
My guests this month are two super talented Englishmen, Oscar Beardmore Gray and Diggory Waite, Hosts of the highly popular podcast "Taking Hugh for Granted". A show that spotlights movie star Hugh Grant and breaks down each of his films spanning over a 30 + year career, "Taking Hugh for Granted" has listeners in 90 countries and I am such a massive fan of the show that I reached out to them to chat about our mutually shared favorite subject - Hugh Grant! We covered so much ground during this conversation, ranging from our favorite performances, to an analysis of The HBO series 'The Undoing', and of course we touch on that infamous hot summer night in June 1995, where Mr. Grant found himself in quite the pickle. We discuss our favorite football teams, David Beckham, and talk the UCL Champions League Final, straight off the heels of the Man City vs Chelsea game, and Oscar and Diggory fill me in on who Hugh Grant roots for in football.
