Warm September days were made for sipping PSLs whilst pretending you’re cocooned in Autumn comfort. KXRW’s Pumpkin Spice Latte playlist blends the sharp, pungent bite of ginger with the sweet, earthy warmth of nutmeg. Singers from Jane Birkin to Betty Carter, from Ethel Waters to Sarah Vaughan and Marianne Faithfull serenade your cinnamon-seeking senses with an hour of September songs and harvest moons. Plus: the 30th anniversary of Cassandra Wilson’s New Moon Daughter. Barista Neil Molloy brews it all for you!
