New music from Amber Mark and Mark Farina, plus a bunch of your HEATERS ONLY selections of songs that are keeping you oh so toasty during these cold weeks in Detroit.

Plus, we go super heavy on Angie Stone and D’Angelo with the chefs from Vinyl Tasting, who are turning the music of these two R&B legends into a six-course menu for Valentine’s Day. It’s one of my favorite events in the city; you can find tickets here.

Check the playlist below and listen to the episode for two weeks after it airs using the player above.
