The Life is in the Lyrics Podcast

Priya has a beef to settle with Mike, the music industry and the world at large--watch out boy she'll chew you up! Then we get to chat about the songs and artists on our summer playlists along with a discussion of how the idea of 'the song of the summer' even came into existence. All that web-surfing, um we mean 'extensive research' really comes in handy sometimes!

Mike's away so Priya brought in a friend to play! She's joined by business coach, serial-entrepreneur and decades-long BFF, Kelsey Matheson for a chat about how music can literally, physiologically and mentally make you happy. Everyone goes through rough patches (or years) so get ready little listeners, it's time to "SMOJ" it up!

Welcome to 'Banter & Bullsh*t', the first 20 or so minutes of every episode where we update you on Mike's life and Priya's sex life, or lack thereof. This week Mike explains how he injured his wrist during Pride, and Priya announces she has finally been banged however, sadly, no Medieval cosplay was involved. Now for this week's other 'deep dive', it's all about Kacey Musgraves, the rebel country star whose catalogue Priya has been listening to on repeat, or should we say, on a merry-go-round?

We're going deep this week, just the way Priya likes it. Deep into the lyrics of Noah Kahan that is. But not before we learn about Priya's new suitor, The Scribe, in all his Medieval cosplay glory! You'll have to excuse Mike, he's not at his best he's been gone for a week, he's been drunk since he left. Why? That's the East Coast way, yes by!

We're talking Canadian artists on the rise so it's finally an episode where we won't mention T Swift, right? Sigh, we tried. Anyhoo, we start off with our regular 'Banter & Bullshit' in which Priya reveals she's been seeing a fella who literally wears a feather in his cap. But enough about Yankee Doodle, this is our Canada Day episode! Let's see if you know any of the Canadian artists that we think are ready to make the leap to the big time! 

It's our second, annual road trip and this year, shocker of shockers, Priya learns that Mike is GAY! But wheeeee--it's his birthday week and since it’s also Pride parade week, what else would we be talking about but big ole gay anthems?! So let's celebrate Mike and his self-described 'almost 60 era' in all his rainbow glory! Age is just a number folks, and our juvenile humour proves it.

Concerts, karaoke, our new BF, 'Claude', and our second annual road trip. That's what's happening this week folks. Plus, Mike and Priya discuss her possible ADD/ADHD diagnosis and whether that puts her into the 'dingdong' or 'brilliant' category. Buckle those seatbelts LIITL Listeners, the hot mess is on full display here. Also--we have an announcement! We'll be hosting our first karaoke night in celebration of Pride month, so follow us on the Insta @theLIITLpodcast for deets!

Priya pulls Mike out from the rock he's been under and explains what 'The Mandalorian & Grogu' is, as well as defining what the term 'GOAT' means. Mike won't talk about his previous sexual experience because mum's the word...literally! AND we discuss the at-the-time-upcoming Kalan concert. Then we dive into the episode’s main topic: artists we just can’t find love for and some surprising research about why some people hate certain music. The episode turns into a bit of a therapy sesh but Mike CLEARLY does NOT like being therapized!
