Welcome to our inaugural issue! To kick things off, I’ve put together a killer playlist called The Throb. Not just any playlist, this is a curated collection of tracks handpicked by the industry pros I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing, plus a few picks from me, your intrepid editor-in-chief. These songs are more than just favorites; they’re the music that inspires the people behind the scenes. You’ll hear the songs that shaped their careers, the tracks that got them through tough times, and the melodies that fueled creativity. The Throb spans genres, decades, and generations. By tuning in, you’re not just enjoying great music—you’re getting an insider’s look at the heartbeat of the music industry.
Here’s a sneak peek at some of the gems you’ll find on The Throb:
- “Older” by Lizzie Alpine – Selected by Blanco Leal
- “Forever and Ever, Amen” by Randy Travis – Selected by Jeremy Latcham
- “After the Party” by The Menzingers – Selected by Jessica Christian
- “How Blue Can You Get?” by B.B. King – Selected by Jonathan Clark

The rest of the music is either a nod to something mentioned in an interview, or one of my personal picks. I definitely chose a few throwbacks to my Tumblr days, so let the 2012 of it all wash over you :)
Let the music transport you, inspire you, and remind you of the incredible power of sound to connect us all. I hope you love The Throb as much as I do, and I look forward to curating a volume every month.
Happy listening!
