Up In The Mix

Up In The Mix

Up in the Mix is a hip hop inspired podcast created by Shaughn Richardson and Cesar Lopez where they discuss, argue and generally give their opinions on everything from pop culture to politics. They interview business owners, artists, musicians, politicians and anyone else they deem interesting or entertaining. While most guests are local to the Reno, Nevada area from which they hail, they do not limit their scope to local events only, but enjoy discussing anything and everything.
