Fall Equinox Playlist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s fall, y’all (my Midwest-self is cringing that I said that). I FINALLY got to wear a sweatshirt in Nashville on my morning dog walk and it was pure heaven. Time for pumpkin spice everything and soup season is hopefully around the corner. Here at MTD HQ this was as good of a reason as any for a playlist. <img alt="" class="sizing-normal" height="1350"
New Podcast Episode: Shazam! 2.0 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
About a year ago, we tapped into our Shazam histories to see what we were all searching from tv shows, movies, restaurants, pre-show music at concerts, etc. (It’s a doozy.

You should follow her journey on Instagram and book your tours which open late Septe
Mark's Mixology Playlist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On the heels of “Bob’s Burst” comes Mark who lit up the text thread last Friday night with a series of songs new and old that were begging to become a playlist. That’s how our text threads go. Some days it’s quiet and some days, you wake up to 33 songs because Mark is on the West Coast enjoying a gorgeous California summer evening, probably with one of his cocktail creations, or a crisp glass of white wine, while playing home DJ.Give it a listen on Apple / <a href="https://op
