‘It’s UATL’ podcast: These are our songs of summer

We’re of the mind that there’s a soundtrack for every summer. As the temps rise, so does a need to cool our minds with records we can get lost in.

With that in mind, this week, the hosts of “It’s UATL” are discussing their current and past summer jams.

From Marvin Gaye and Childish Gambino to Megan Thee Stallion and Drake, the ladies share how some of their favorites are giving them life in summertime.
