It's all about the Algorithm this week on Two Guys Talking About Records! In this episode, Jim & Steve break down (in plain English, no computer science degree required) how Spotify and YouTube figure out what you’ll like next — from collaborative filtering to analyzing every beat, mood, and skip you’ve ever made. Then we stack it up against the sacred art of the handmade mix-tape: the late-night sequencing sessions, the Sharpie calligraphy, the unspoken rules of flow, and that nervous moment when you handed it to your crush or your best friend and hoped they’d get it.
