Welcome back to the latest segment here on GGA, Soundtrack Saturday! Every Saturday, we generate playlists for you inspired by our favorite characters from books, movies, podcasts or TV.

This weeks playlist is inspired by a character from the award winning podcast, The Bright Sessions, drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrum-roll, please? Sam Barnes! Sam (voiced by the show’s creator Lauren Shippen) is a character we meet in the show’s very first episode. She sees the mysterious Dr. Bright (Julia Morizawa) for her panic attacks and her little issue of involuntarily time travel.

Despite making small progress with her therapy in the first season, Sam soon became a fan favorite as her confidence grew and she started using her ability to infiltrate a shady government organization on behalf of Dr. Bright. Isn’t the idea of an anxious spy so refreshing? We stan.

Anyway, let’s get to it! Welcome to Sam’s inspired playlist I’ve decided to call Sam Barnes’ Time Travel Tunes. A mixtape of pop, indie folk and alternative rock that’s perfect to put on during your next journey through time. Enjoy!
