I downloaded this podcast from kpwr.org in ‘08. I think it was Mitchell’s radio show and Esme was cohosting. Anyhow, the tunes are all awesome, but more importantly, it’s Esme at her best, playing music and being happy.

My favorite mix tape ever. I tried to recreate an mp3 version but am missing a few tracks (#12 from side 1 and #’s 4 and 8 from Side 2). I’m not as creative so I just named it esme . I’m sad our Purple Rain Cupcake Party is on indefinite hold, but it’s still going to happen. I love you girl! xoxo, Kari

Jen Quinonez has started this spotify playlist where anyone can add the songs that remind them of Esme. It is, of course, already teeming with the best jams imaginable. Esme radio! <3

Pretty sure this is from 2008. I have heard a lot of “summer” themed mixes in my life and this one has been my favorite since the moment I received it. Esme embodied summertime better than anyone. <3, Summer Anne.
