Past guests, listeners, and friends share their feelings on the rock icon. 

We're putting together a collaborative tribute and we'd love your help!

This week: A podcast discussion of a playlist tribute to a podcast about an iconic band (mostly). 

Our dear friend Ben becomes the first Blank Cassette three-timer with a story about the work it requires to be there for your family. 

Lots of life events can produce the same feelings a breakup does. This week, theater producer Kelly Opalko shares a breakup mix that isn't, cuz you gotta have something to get those feelings out. 

In the summer of 2007, at 22 years old, Jon Lester had hit all his life goals. Now all he had to do was not mess it up. This week, we dive inside the playlist that helped him with that. 

Season two, baby! Blank Cassette's back, and we've got a new coproducer, the wonderful Ian Williams. This week, to launch the second season, Ian and Eric share their top ten side 1-track 1s. From Kanye to Boston to Kanye again, this playlist is pretty sweet. 

We end Comics Month on Blank Cassette with a response mix of sorts! A couple weeks ago, Kevin Budnik shared a mix he made for his girlfriend Meredith Park. Now Meredith's back with a mix she made for Kevin! From reconciling a relationship to post-election anxiety, this is a sweet mix with some sweet tunes. 

For this Comics Month installment, we talk to the artist who made our super-cool graphic about a mix delivered at a very heartbreaking time in her high school life. Sometimes you just wanna fly. 

Comics Month marches on with the return of one of our favorite Chicago cartoonists, Kevin Budnik, who shares a recent playlist he put together for his girlfriend and talks about how mixes work as means of communication in a long-distance relationship.
