## Core UX

Each mixtape is represented as a cassette. Browse your mixtapes by horizontally scrolling and reading the Editor's Notes. Insert the cassette into the player and reveal the podcast episodes that make up the mixtape. Tap the podcast episode icon in the bottom right to see more information about the currently playing episode. Eject the cassette by tapping the icon in the bottom left to choose a new mixtape.
