Party theme

Tonight, on A Mixed Bag with Chris B on 93.7 Edge FM, our theme was "Party", so we played songs with the word "Party" in the title.
We explored the theme of safe partying with some advice from some great websites, including Reachout.com, an online youth mental health service,  Here is a link to some information about safe partying on the Reachout.com website:-
