footnotes radio!!!!

Footnotes radio is the show I host at my college's student run station. Every Tuesday at 1pm my cohost, Amaris, and I play songs that follow one chosen theme. I have listed below some of our previous themes and will continue to upload each playlist every week. Below you will also find an option to leave theme suggestions! We love giving shoutouts. You can listen to our show here!
