The Mix Tape Mafia decides the best songs to fit a certain theme, and delivers an incredible playlist each episode. Along the way, hosts Jason Papagan and Anthony Pisch nominate songs back and forth, crack wise and determine which songs make the cut, and which end up on the cutting room floor. Every episode is a musical and comical feast for the ears that results in a supreme "Mix Tape" playlist for the listeners to add to their Spotify, Apple Music, etc. Why are we the Mix Tape Mafia?... because we're paisans and what we say goes. Don't like it? send us a tweet and let us know. Strong opinions stir the stew...

Ep. 114: Not My Day Job

Dec 09 2024 40 mins

This week's episode includes some all out diamonds in the rough, and some lumps of coal. "Not My Day Job" features our curation of a bunch of songs from people who are famous for something OTHER than singing. You'll recognize some and we'll reveal some other new mysteries. These are famous actors, comedians, athletes, etc., who just happened to get the itch, thought they could sing

Ep. 113: Angels & Demons, plus Suno Songs and Drunk Speed Mafia!

Nov 03 2024 76 mins

We hash through the best songs that have either "Angel" or "Demon" in the title. This is an interseting playlist, but before we put that mix tape together for you, we've got the debut of our Bean Bag Studios Suno Songs! And we listen to the "Drunk Speed Mafia," aka, the Mix Tape Mafia at 0.5 speed! Hilarity ensues.

Ep. 112: Burying the Lede: Album Edition

Oct 27 2024 61 mins

We had so much fun a few episodes ago with our "Burying the Lede" songs that we needed to bring back the theme with a twist! We are curating the best mix tape playlist of all songs that contain the name of the album that they are on... but they are NOT title tracks! You'll catch on quickly...

Ep. 111: The Game of LIFE

Oct 09 2024 76 mins

It's a lost episode! Recorded back in the spring of 2024, we're finally bringing you the game of Life - a Mix Tape Mafia curation (and creation!) of what WE consider the best songs with the word "Life" in the title. It's now or never, we're in the fast lane, and it's a highway, so hang on for the ride. We've even got a few "shandy" nominees, and a handful of guilty pleasures.

Ep. 110: Foodies!

Sep 11 2024 70 mins

It's a special episode all about Food! We're playing songs with food in the title AND we're stepping into the Pappy's Products test kitchen as we introduce and review FIVE new products inspired by various songs throughout the night. Grab your popcorn and your shopping list and get ready to crunch, munch, and dance!

Ep. 109: Burying the Lede

Aug 22 2024 72 mins

We've got an awesome episode where we dive into the best songs where the title is NOT in the chorus or the hook of the song. Instead, the artist has "buried" the title somehwere deeper in one of the song's verses or elsewhere. This is one of those episodes where you only the Mafia can give you the proper deep dive that this Spotify mix tape deserves.

Ep. 108: Hasn't Aged Well

Aug 16 2024 37 mins

Tread carefully... Perhaps, we could have called this episode "Creeps & Peeps," since the majority of these songs ended up being creepy older dudes singing about their lust for underage girls. SO, we are by no means endorsing the messages behind some of these tunes. But we thought it would be interesting to explore some of the hit songs that we all used to like, but they certai

Ep. 107: Wedding Bangers

Jul 15 2024 71 mins

To kick off wedding week, the boys are in studio to curate the best (and worst!) dance songs that you're bound to hear at most weddings. They work through the bangers for you, building an incredible spotify playlist that includes both the dance floor fillers AND the dance floor EMPTIERS!

Ep. 106: Sweeping the Studio

Jul 08 2024 76 mins

Did you ever hear a song and think it sounds exactly like a certain artist, but it's actually just some random singer or band you've never heard of? Well, we have a theory that nobody's disproven yet, so it must be true––the random singer was just part of the cleaning crew in the recording studio where the famous band played and just took it upon themselves to steal the sound,

Ep. 105: Human Resources

Jun 16 2024 35 mins

Be Human. Be Kind. Be Both. We've got a tightly packed 35 minute playlist to put together for you of our favorite songs that contiain the word "human" in the title. Let us know if you agree on the "human nature" of this mix tape! Featuring: Michael Jackson, Human League, Billy Joel, The Killers, Van Halen, Christina Perri, and more!
