About Me

What is a “mix tape”? According to Wikepedia:

A mixtape is a compilation of songs recorded in a specific order, traditionally onto a compact audio cassette.A mixtape, which usually reflects the musical tastes of its compiler, can range from a casually selected list of favorite songs, to a conceptual mix of songs linked by a theme or mood, to a highly personal statement tailored to the tape's intended recipient. Essayist Geoffrey O'Brien has called the personal mixtape "the most widely practiced American art form,"[1] and many mixtape enthusiasts believe that by carefully selecting and ordering the tracks in a mix, an artistic statement can be created that is greater than the sum of its individual songs, much as an album of pop music in the post-Beatles era can be considered as something more than a collection of singles.

So that’s what I’m going to do every Saturday afternoon from 1-2 pm on KSVY. My name is Cat Smith and I'm your host for The Mix Tape. I will pick a different theme, mood, or person to dedicate this show to, and the music will reflect that. Hopefully, I’ll be introducing you to new music and reintroducing you to songs you’ll happily remember.
If you would like to give suggestions for a future show topic, leave a comment or send a message. I’m happy to entertain any idea and consider it a challenge. The show will also have guests from time to time to share their input on the themes or make you aware of upcoming local events and charities.


Listen locally at 91.3 FM or stream me live from anywhere in the world at www.ksvy.org. Feel free to call in from anywhere as well! I answer your calls live on the air.
