SONGS OF THE SUMMER: THE ULTIMATE JOURNEY THROUGH SUMMER JAMS

While Blake soaks up the sun in L.A., the summer radio continues to play. Before Blake headed to the west coast, the gang turned up the heat in the studio with a fiery debate: What is the ultimate Song of the Summer for each decade? From 90s classics to early 2000s bangers, 2010s anthems, and the still-forming 2020s playlist, we’re fighting (with love) to crown the top track of each era. Expect nostalgia, shade, and some hot takes as we try to do the impossible. Grab your sunnies—this one’s sizzling.

ABOUT REWIND: The Podcast - Hosted by the effortlessly charismatic duo Raven Dawson and Blake Rackley, REWIND: The Podcast is where pop culture past meets pop culture present—with a whole lot of personality in between. Fueled by a love for iconic throwbacks and today’s most talked-about moments, these two besties serve up unfiltered opinions, sharp humor, and a deep appreciation for the drama that keeps entertainment interesting. From Y2K nostalgia to red carpet chaos, award show upsets to reality TV scandals, nothing is off-limits. Whether they’re revisiting the cultural staples that defined an era or breaking down the latest internet-breaking headlines, expect hot takes, deep dives, and plenty of side-eye. If your playlist lives somewhere between classic R&B and current chart-toppers, if you still quote your favorite 2000s movies on the daily, and if you love a little (or a lot of) flair with your pop culture commentary—this is the podcast you’ve been waiting for. Press play, lean in, and get ready to REWIND.
