Big Sell 30 Day 3: Spotify’s new “Daily Mix” Playlist

| insidepoppodcast

It’s Day 3 of the Big Sell 30 Day Challenge! We’re inviting everyone to join us and attempt to experience something new in pop culture once a day for 30 days. To help you out, we’ll tweet out and post suggestions here on our website.

We’ll be alternating who is giving the Big Sell over the next few weeks as well as featuring Big Sells from some of our favorite fellow podcasters and hopefully from listeners too!

Today, it’s Amita’s turn!

Hey y’all! My Big Sell is a new Spotify playlist called Daily Mix.

For those of you who know us, we love Spotify and we love their curated playlists! First there was Discover Weekly– the playlist that chooses artists and tracks that are similar to the music that you’re listening to that week and creates a new playlist filled with new talent. Then, a couple months ago they debuted the Release Radar playlist which is a list of new music released over the past few weeks with artists you listen to along with new discoveries based on your listening history (I promise that we aren’t paid or sponsored by Spotify, but if anyone wants to put in a good word for us…we’re BIG fans)

Just these two weekly playlists have introduced us to new artists and also new or re-released tracks from some of our favorite artists and we have been obsessed with both!

So, when I opened up my Spotify last week and went into “Your Library” I was greeted by a new category called Your Daily Mix. It was like the Spotify gods were working overtime and said- releasing Discover Weekly on Mondays and Release Radar on Fridays isn’t enough! We need to give the people more!

Here’s a screenshot of Daily Mix today:

You can see that I have 4 daily mixes and every day, they will change and adapt to what I’m listening to. It’s amazing and I’m excited to see what they do next to read my musical mind!

Definitely check out your personalized Daily Mix and find some new music and relive some old classics as well.

And don’t forget to let us know what you think of it!! Leave a comment here or tweet us @popinsiders. And also make sure to tell us how your #BigSell30 Challenge is going!

It’s Day One of the Big Sell 30 Day Challenge! #BigSell30 here we go! Thanks for joining us as we invite everyone to experience one new piece of pop culture every day for 30 days. If you’re looking for suggestions this is the place to be!

peaky blindersEvery day we’ll have a Big Sell recommendation for you here on the site. Our first Big Sell comes from Matt McKee of The Long Distance Popcast. His Big Sell is the Netflix series Peaky Blinders starring Cillian Murphy, Sam Neill and Tom Hardy.

This show has been around for 3 seasons, but may have been overshadowed by higher profile Netflix series like Orange is the New Black, House of Cards, Stranger Things and Marvel’s Luke Cage.

Listen to hear LDP co-host Matt McKee explain why this show is worth checking out!

And tomorrow on Day 2 – we will feature LDP co-host Claudia Castillo’s Big Sell.

We’re off and running! Remember to tweet YOUR Big Sell suggestions to us @PopInsiders and let us know how your #BigSell30 experience is going!

The Big Sell is getting even BIGGER! For the past 10 months we’ve ‘Big Sold’ each other every week – taking turns recommending something new in the world of pop culture for the other to check out. The result? We’ve each heard more music, seen more movies, read more short stories and experienced so much more great new pop culture than we’d ever experienced before. And our water cooler banter is so ON POINT!

And now we want YOU to get in on the act.  We’re inviting you to take part in the Big Sell 30 Day Challenge. Join us and commit to trying out one new piece of pop culture every day, for 30 days. A new song, TV episode, movie, poem, viral video, smart phone app – anything goes.

Listen to this special Inside Pop episode for all of the details. Beginning October 1st we’ll tweet and post recommended Big Sells. And we want to hear from you! Tweet us using #BigSell30 and tell us what you’ve been trying out.

Throughout the month we’ll have special episodes and special guests who’ll share their Big Sells with all of us.

So join us for the Big Sell 30 Day Challenge and we guarantee at the end of the month you’ll have whiter teeth, increased spiritual awareness and a firmer butt. And also – none of those things. But you will have the experience of feeding your pop culture obsession with great recommendations from fellow fanatics! #BigSell30
