The Life is in the Lyrics Podcast

Ep. 85 Flash Back to Episode 2!

Ep. 84 Road Trip 2.0, Take 2

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!

Ep. 83 Haters Gonna Hate (Hate, Hate, Hate, Hate)

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!

Ep. 82 Curveballs

Ahhh life. One door (of friendship) opens and another closes. How do we hold onto the good memories when friends come and go? And what music or specific songs help us navigate the ups and downs when they slap you in the face REAL hard? So here's to friends and friendships and making lemonade whenever and however you can.

Ep. 81 The Comeback Kids

Life updates: Priya spent a whirlwind two weeks in NYC while Mike went shoe shopping. Sex faces, fashion choices and musical bingo for seniors (for seniors: musical bingo not the sex faces) are on the table as Priya gets tipsy chugging her drink on air. Then we chat about how 'kids these days' are bringing back music from days (and decades) gone by.

Ep. 80 Covers You Didn't Know Were Covers

WARNING: Do NOT get your music trivia from us cuz we be dingdongs. DO get your weekly giggle here cuz...we be dingdongs. We're talking road trips, spoken word poetry, and whether Priya's feet could supplement her income. Ok Little Listeners, there are songs you know are covers but in this ep we discuss songs that we were GAGGED to learn were not written for the artists who became synonymous with them. You learn something new every goddam week here on Life is in the Lyrics!

Ep. 79 How Video Killed The Radio Star

How did it go when Mike brought Priya as his 'plus 1' to his office karaoke party? Which one of our co-hosts has just won an 'Outstanding Employee' award? And how far into the ep before Priya's 'intelligence' is on full display yet again? In other news, we’re ahead of the curve discussing Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation before Erika Kirk auditioned to be one of her dancers! It's time to revisit how the 80's gave birth to the music video.

Ep. 78 Showstoppers, Solos, and All That Jazz

Priya, pliers, and her teeth - terrible idea. Priya’s previous diagnosis of being intellectually 'gifted' (established in Ep 1) is reexamined. Mike talks time-travel, 'imposter syndrome' and ruminates yet again. And that was all before we get to the music! Anyhoo, this week we talk musical theatre - from our awe-inspiring first times to our fave memories. And despite Mike's initial reservations about this topic, turns out he has A LOT to say and has seen shows around the world (just like Priya knew he would). #shealwayshastoberight

Ep. 77 Special Guest: Scott McCord aka Victor from "FROM"

Priya has been waiting for the day she could bring her old pal Scott McCord onto the pod and that day has arrived! Y'all may know his as fan-favourite Victor from the TV series, FROM, but did ya know he's also an extremely talented singer and musician? Well now you do and you can hear allll about his journey from small-town Sarnia Ontario to the crazy world of FROM and his new band, Fresh Horses! PS season 4 is out TODAY and his new album release party is TONITE in NYC! thisisscottmccord.com / FROM on PrimeVideo / Fresh Horses

Ep. 76 Shipwreck Desert Island Discography

On this episode we answer the (sun) burning question: “Can you have a desert surrounded by water?” and showcase our embarrassing lack of basic, local geography. Picture it: Priya & Mike stranded on a deserted island...how long before they rrrrrip each other a new one? Grumpy Old Man Mike estimates 3 hours based solely on Priya's bossiness “all the time”. Luckily they have their recording equipment and respective playlists to keep their sanity--solar powered of course!
