It may be Friday the 13th but that won’t stop us from fortifying ourselves with a ‘luck and fortune’ theme in today’s show. Hopefully, that will tip the scales. May our luck and fortune hold out until the next election. You’re welcome to drop in to our slightly superstitious edition of Deeper Roots on a day that usually sends people dodging ladders and eyeing black cats with suspicion. Whether you’re a believer in the ‘unlucky’ stigma or you consider yourself a master of your own fate, we’ve curated a playlist designed to explore the highs and lows of the cosmic dice roll. We’ll be spinning tracks that dive deep into the world of luck and fortune with some high-stakes anthems of the casino floor to the soulful laments of those down on their luck, we’re covering every corner of the wheel of fate. But…knock on wood…just in case.
