Uplifting Only — The Radio Podcast

We've reached 700 episodes of Uplifting Only, and it's time to celebrate! We will journey in time from 2013  — the first year of the show —to the present. And this will be an all-instrumental episode.

Ori has chosen finalists (both winners and runners-up) from the yearly Tune of the Year votes, choosing only all-instrumental tracks, and will play them in roughly chronological order. (Plus, to represent 2026, we have an exclusive world premiere of a forthcoming orchestral uplifter on Abora from later this summer.)

We'll begin with the TOTY vote winner from 2013, and end with the TOTY vote winner from 2025. Enjoy this special episode!
