Last week, former President Barack Obama shared his annual playlist of his current favorite songs for summer. Boygenius, SZA, Bob Dylan, and the Beths are just a couple of examples of musicians that made the cut this time around.

To kick off the morning, let’s build a conversation around this list. How much of this playlist is his actual music taste? What was a pleasant surprise? Can’t find anything you like? What don’t you agree with? What’s a song that you would’ve added?

For today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, which songs from Obama’s summer playlist do you want to hear?
