I had a whole show prepped and then Riz Ahmed dropped The Long Goodbye. So basically... we're keeping it super fresh this morning! New tracks throughout the hour that I have found inspiring and captivating -- though not limited to just Riz! So much mindblowing creativity, it's really given me joy to put this set together and I hope you feel it, too.
