That’s a wrap on 2024, friends! And once again, here’s my playlist of favorite tunes released in 2024. I seem to have gotten carried away and ended up with more than 20 songs, totaling an hour. Just think of it as a bonus!

From time to time I get requests from fans asking me about the song played during the intro or outro of my podcast and vidcast known as The Chillcast with Anji Bee. I must admit I’m always tickled that someone has found these brief musical interludes catchy enough that they want to have a copy of the song in their libraries, so today I searched my archive for the original wav files to share on my Bandcamp page.
Over the course of the series produced between 2005 and 2020, I actually used a few different versions of the theme song. The original song was created by my husband and I much in the style of the our Lovespirals album, Free & Easy, released the year prior. Our band podcast, Chillin’ with Lovespirals, used the album’s title track as our show’s theme song and I was looking for something similar for my music show. Ryan was happy to oblige, whipping up a funky baseline and drums topped with moody electric piano and bluesy guitar leads, to which I added my breathy vocals. “Ooh ooh ooh, uh huh — Chillcast!” became the epic calling card of my show, playing into the sensual and sassy persona I’d created for the network, PodShow, where I was known as “The Sexiest Voice in Podcasting,” according to founder and ex-MTV VJ, Adam Curry. This theme song first debuted on Chillcast Episode 10 posted April 24, 2006.
I kinda like this end of the year tradition of sharing my Top 20 fave songs via playlist. It’s kinda like the fun part of making music podcasts without all the actual work part. I still love discovering new music and putting together playlists based on vibes, so feel free to follow me over on Apple Music if you like my taste in music. I’m not active on Spotify, but try to share my Top 20 lists, if nothing else, so you can check me out there, too if you want.

I am back with another Top 20 playlist this year, and once again, I’ll share my fave tunes via both Spotify and Apple Music. Wonder if I’ll ever revive The Chillcast again?

Exploring new music is what makes me most happy! I’m an Apple Music user, but since more people seem to rely on Spotify, I took the time to recreate my yearly Top 20 Mix on my Anji Bee Spotify account for folks to check out.
You can consider this The Chillcast with Anji Bee 2021 Top 20 officially, though I do hope to sit down and record an actual podcast version for my Anji Bee MixCloud account at some point!

SURPRISE! Bet you didn’t expect me to show up with a mix of love songs a few days *after* Valentine’s Day, did ya??? I’ve been contributing a Vday mix to the Cupid’s Hunt podcast collaboration since its inception in 2008, and I just couldn’t resist getting back into it again this year!!! You know I have trouble quitting The Chillcast, so it was a great excuse to go through all my unread music PR emails, scour the new releases on Soundcloud, and even hit up the freegal.com music site for cool new tunes in the theme of L-O-V-E. So get ready to kick back, relax, and let me soothe you and groove you once again for old time’s sake. <3
I haven’t uploaded a new episode of the The Chillcast to Mixcloud since Valentine’s Day, but I still keep making playlists! Even though I’m an Apple user, I shared my end of the year playlist over on Spotify, as well, because it seems to be the more popular service. Hope you enjoy this mix. Feel free to follow me on either streaming platform for more playlists.
