The Mixtape Podcast - Hear It, Wherever You Listen

Hello I'm Mark the host of The Mixtape Podcast and every week I interview a musician and ask them to make up an imaginary Mixtape and choose 6 tracks for it.
1. Your lead off track? The attention grabber?
2. A song you sing loud and proud, when you are on your own in the car/shower.
3. You Favourite Cover Version
4. A song you would have liked your 18 year old self to hear.
5. A song to let the listener know you are romantically interested.
6. Something under-appreciated, you feel doesn't get the recognition it deserves.
