Thank you. Mentioning that playlist on Spotify reminds me of a recent conversation where someone asked what happened to the decades- meaning they were used to seeing things from the '90s and '80s and '70s. And I said there were definitely things from the early aughts and the 2010s for sure.

So, beyond all these headlines, what are you reading right now? What music are you listening to? What's been a standout brew for you in the last week? My co-host, Tony and I share our answers on episode 214 of Modern Brews + Beats. modernbrewsandbeats.com
