Throughout the season, our hosts Tracy Clayton and Akoto Ofori-Atta will celebrate their picks for a quintessential 90s playlist and explore the work of Backstreet Boys, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, A Tribe Called Quest and more!

Sharing an episode of the Love Letters podcast. Love Letters tells stories about romance, marriage, partnership, sex, loss, and the human heart. Served with a side of advice. On the new season, host Meredith Goldstein explores all the ways money plays into love, dating, and relationships. In this episode, Meredith’s childhood friend Justin L. Wilson is standing at a funeral, listening to a eulogy, when he has an epiphany: He’s going to quit my job. This decision to follow his passion takes Justin on a journey that involves falling in love. Breakups. Martin Scorsese. Hall & Oates. Drag queens. The Kelly Clarkson Show. And a lesson – very much still-in-progress – about the price of a dream.
Any great mixtape has to end with a classic crowd pleaser, a track that pulls the whole thing together. To end this season, we pay tribute to one of the best collaborations between pop and hip-hop of all time: the “Fantasy” remix. Hear how Mariah made the music she wanted to hear and how influential this legendary track is on pop music today.
Track seven is rounding the corner to the end, so let’s give the people what they want: boy bands. No matter which of the Backstreet Boys you had a crush on, we can all sing along to all the words of “I Want It That Way.” And sure, the words may not make much sense, but they sound so, so good.
Track six is when you give your favorites their flowers. If someone else was putting this playlist together, maybe they’ll have the best New York rapper or an entire West Coast label represented. Not you though; you’re throwing on Outkast. It may not be the song with the most airplay, but it is the one that might mean the most. As Andre 3000 once said, the South’s got something to say.
