The protests and unrest have had us wondering how to make meaning from this wild, inexplicable time in history — so like usual, we turned to songs. Out came two new TuneDig Radio playlists. The world already has plenty of protest playlists, so instead we tried to think more deeply about how best to process and live in the moment. This episode (part of a pair) is all about searching deep within and challenging yourself to grow.Combine the podcast with the Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/22OvQfebbIGI3jeollYycyListen with full songs on the YouTube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCTnCqMM9gSfCcpPsfj0DbEVymoC6Uls6Follow us on Instagram and Twitter (@tunedig) for more info about the songs that didn't make the episode.
