30 for 30 | Featured Playlist

30 for 30 is a sports documentary series that was devised to celebrate ESPN’s 30th anniversary with a series of 30 films. The series and it's brand have since become a staple of sports culture, documenting the iconic stories, individuals, and moments throughout sports history. When you tune in to an episode of 30 for 30, you might see a chronicle of historical moments highlighting a sports icon you grew up watching, or you may catch a lesser-known story about a regional sports hero who became more than a local legend thanks to their impact on the sport in their community. Whether you’re a sports fan or just a casual flipping through channels, 30 for 30 gives you a look into the deeper side of sports and athletes that make fans fall in love with them.

Our 30 for 30, James’s quarterly curation of 30 songs, pays homage to that spirit of celebration and championing great narratives within in the world of music. The playlist features new and old songs, as James takes a snapshot of the prevalent sounds making the rounds across the charts and in the underground. Every few months we’ll get a brand new playlist, with each one being subject to changes while it’s up. The hope is that you discover something new and, like with most of our work here at AMF, that it encourages you to dive in and find yourself a new favorite.

The permanent playlist will live here on Spotify: 30 for 30. Old versions will be archived and shared on AMF platforms, but save this one and you’ll always have the latest (and greatest 🏆🏆) of curation from James.
