Saturday Morning Mix #11
Another fine Saturday with a cup o' Joe and another episode kicked off with hijinks! After an hilarious false-start in the studio, we get into a shorter but fantastic mix for you as we wind down July and shift into vacation mode.
That's right — vacation! With Jói heading off on holiday for the month of August, we will be taking a brief recording break and will spend the month re-releasing some of our favourite episodes from the archives. If you have any faves you want to hear again, drop us a line at grapevine@grapevine.is.
And now, to the mix!
