The Life is in the Lyrics Podcast

Ep 29. Are You a Wallower or Swallower

It's Mental Health Awareness Month so this week is all about the 'crazy' in songs. Plus, Mike offers a mea culpa, Priya admits to telling tall tales, and reflects on her own experience being part of 'prozac nation'. Ready? Let's go crazy little listeners!

Ep 28. Slay That Dragon Bitch!

This week we wonder if dragons ever really existed (they didn’t…right?) and talk about songs that help us overcome our inner demons. It's all easy breezy good times but things take a turn when Priya overshares and kills the vibe. 

Ep 27. Livin' on a Prayer?

Time to get on your knees little listeners because this episode puts the spotlight on songs about faith--and NO, we don't talk about Like A Prayer or Faith. Bonus! you get a mini-rant from Priya and we get our Very First Email from a listener! Our prayers have been answered, praise be!

Ep 26. One And Done

In this episode our duo wonders about 'one-hit wonders', Priya infects Mike with the tune, 'Baby Shark', Mike talks about the science of creating a hit song, and the two of them discuss the good ole days i.e. when Mike had ‘lots of’ hair.

Ep 25. Duran Duran Makes us Come Undone

Save a prayer for us as we revisit our highschool years! We talk Hungry Like the Wolf (not a description of Priya's appetite) to The Reflex, bullying to buying records (those flat discs that play music) and end off with Priya making Mike cry. It's just another day in an Ordinary World.

Ep 24. Everybody Plays the Fool...Sometimes

What could be more appropriate than 2 fools talking about being fools? We be drinkin' again this episode as we talk about the word 'fool' in songs that have been on our playlists over the years. Plus, one of us gets fooled during the discussion...you'll just have to listen to find out who and how!

Ep 23. All Hail to the Queen(s)

It’s international women’s month bitches and we’re bending the knee to our two queens—Dolly and Madonna. We talk sex, power, and how these two badass business savvy broads use all their feminine wiles to their advantage! And speaking of badass, we've got a special guest this episode and she makes a compelling case or two about who she thinks deserves the crown!

Ep 22. Jesus, Mary and Joseph...we're talkin' U2

What's the craic ye ask? We're heading to the land o' the leprechauns for Irish Heritage month as we talk about one of the BEST Irish bands and BEST albums ever. That's right ye eejits, we mean U2 and The Joshua Tree. So kiss the ole blarney stone and let's get on with it. Erin go bragh!

Ep 21. Guilty Pleasures...ooohhh...ahhhh...mmm

We're not talking about Priya and her 'PYT with a 6-pack' fetish. Besides, she doesn't feel guilty about that. No, we’re talking about songs or genres that secretly get you groovin' but you publicly roll your eyes to.

Ep 20. Movie-star to Chart-topper

Musicians who've had successful tv/film careers? There are dozens. But actors who've had #1 song hits? That list is pretty damn short and we know because we did the research so you don't have to. Although we did miss a few - you'll just have to listen to find out.
