Ready for some high-level eavesdropping? This episode of MBE isn’t that, but it is the next best thing. We’re pulling back the curtain to give the inside track into how the magic happens. It’s our 2024 Spring Pledge Drive and MBE Producer Anna Chang is on the mic with Novena for a full breakdown of exactly how morning keeps becoming so eclectic day after day after day. And just because this episode is heavy on behind the scenes action, doesn’t mean it’s not also heavy on tunes. Chicano Batman + Money Mark covering Talking Heads’ “Crosseyed and Painless,” the latest heat from UK DJ/producer Elkka ahead of her forthcoming, debut LP Prism of Pleasure, and the latest from Billie Eilish are just a few of the gems you’ll hear in the mix.
