The Ultimate Playlist

Following the launch of the What Is Music? Patreon saw the Big Mates attempt to stretch their legs, talking about a hugely varied selection of musical artists, genres, and eras as they look to create THE ULTIMATE PLAYLIST, with potential songs centred around a different theme each month.
ULTIMATE PLAYLIST episodes are released on the second and third Thursday of each month with the theme spread over 2 parts. Each ULTIMATE PLAYLIST theme has 8 tracks nominated for inclusion (4 covered each episode) with 2 from each of the Big Mates and 2 from listeners*. At the end of the 2 episodes 4 of the tracks are added to THE ULTIMATE PLAYLIST
*The tracks for the initial 3 "Bait" episodes were picked entirely by the Big Mates with the baitee selecting 2 tracks and the baiters selecting 3 each.
