Suzy Chase Created the Mixtape Podcast. Now She’s Bringing Back Intentional Listening.
The original mixtape podcast returns as a curated listening room for immersive, distraction-free music.
NEW YORK, NY, April 12, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ — If you care about music—not just hearing it, but feeling it—then The Groove Radio Podcast belongs in your rotation.
Created and hosted by Suzy Chase, The Groove Radio is a dedicated audio space designed for immersive, distraction-free music listening. It’s a modern-day mixtape—thoughtfully curated, deeply personal, and rooted in the kind of storytelling that once defined great radio.
At a time when algorithms dominate how we discover music, listeners are starting to crave something more human. They’re searching for taste, perspective, and curation they can trust—not just another endless feed. Suzy offers exactly that: one song at a time, with context, memory, and meaning. Each episode leans into deep cuts across soul, funk, and R&B—tracks that feel rediscovered, reimagined, and, most importantly, felt.
And the industry is taking notice. As Forbes recently noted,
“One of the most interesting and unique music podcasts have originated from Suzy Chase.”
That recognition reflects what longtime listeners already know: Suzy isn’t chasing the algorithm—she’s curating against it.
A true pioneer, Suzy created the mixtape podcast in 2005 with The Groove Radio—long before podcasting became mainstream. Her background in radio and decades of experience in audio give the show a distinct voice: warm, intentional, and unmistakably human.
As Bushwick Nation perfectly captured:
“But track down all these forgotten songs and string them together and you’ll get a hit parade from some slightly alternative universe. That’s the musical world that resides in Suzy’s head.”
Each episode feels like stepping into a listening room. No scrolling. No skipping. Just music, thoughtfully presented.
In a crowded audio landscape, The Groove Radio stands apart by doing something simple, and increasingly rare: making space for the music to truly land.
