The Life is in the Lyrics Podcast

Ep. 55 The 5 Greatest Songs of the 21st Century?

Priya thinks she's clairvoyant, a new Robyn song leads us to dissect the origins of the term 'that's dope' and we talk about our totally unreliable memories. As least that's what we think we talked about...hmm. Then it's on with the show as we give our 'hot takes' on Rolling Stone Magazine's list of the 250 Greatest Songs of the 21st Century So Far but don't worry little listeners, we only cover the top 5!

Ep. 54 How the F*ck Did We Make it to Season 2?

We discuss how our first season seemed to have an extra week in the year, the pressure of throwing a 1st year anniversary hangout, 'Ebony & Ivory' cupcakes, living up to our own hype, short butt cracks and sooo much more nonsense. Pretty much par for the course if you're just tuning in for the first time! Then it's all about celebration songs as we kick off SEASON TWO! (Cue applause)

Ep. 53 The LIITL Podcast 1st Anniversary Spesh!

It’s our 1st anniversary and we are joined by two very special guests whose story is literally ripped from the headlines.
Mike’s longtime friends, Neil and Tracy Bantleman were living their dream overseas until the unthinkable changed everything. Theirs is a story of incredible resilience.
Don’t miss this episode of how music and lyrics provided them with the strength and hope to make it through a nightmare in Indonesia.

Ep. 52 It's a Happy Hour Year in Review!

From our very first "ep" where Mike confuses Taiwan with Vietnam, to diptychs and dick pics, and lions and cheetahs, it's a trip down memory lane of our first year of podcasting. What's changed (our tagline and format) and what hasn't (Mike not listening to Priya)? What are our most popular episodes and what's in store for season 2? Grab a cocktail and get tipsy with us to find out and have some laughs!

Ep. 51 When I Say Call, You Say Answer

We've got mea culpas on both sides, car rental nightmares and Priya confusing a Minnesota accent with an Indian one. Neither are great BTW. Then it's on with the show and this time it's all about 'answer songs' aka 'reply songs' aka 'diss tracks. Whew, that's a mouthful!

Ep. 50 The Life of a Showgirl is Here!

Do you like Wood? Don’t worry, you’re not getting Cancelled, it’s not going to Ruin the Friendship if you don't, but we think it's Actually Romantic! That's right Honey, this week it's all about The Life of a Showgirl.

Ep. 49 Songs we Workout to...or Don't

It's pet pandemonium as we ramble about dogs with loose vulvas, cats who wank too much and dogs that love to eat horseshit, literally. Priya waxes poetic about seeing Shawn Mendes live before she goes rogue and refuses to partake in this week's topic. On principle...because she doesn't work out. Let's see how that affects the episode!

Ep. 48 Two is Better Than One

This is the week you get to hear us really DO IT, sorry--the week you get to hear us really DUET. Sure you've heard us sing together before but THIS ep is pure self-indulgence as we sing our way through our fave duets and discuss the all-important issue of songs to add to our repertoire. BTW, do you pronounce the 'r' in repeRtoire? Food for thought folks. 

Ep. 47 Welcome to New York!

Yes, we know. It's the second ep in a row named after a Taylor song. Priya has an anticipation problem and Mike gets chased by a fox - and we ain't talkin' the hot daddy kind. Then it's time to reminisce about trips to NYC. Start spreading the news...of hidden speakeasies, dinner at the Rainbow Room, and epic cab-ride puking.

Ep. 46 You Need to Calm Down!

From a spontaneous outing to anniversaries, the 'science' of drinking through a straw and important "bidness" ...we be having a gay ole time! This week we're talking songs that help you chill the fu*k out. Is it a specific artist? album? genre?? All of the above?! Tune in and find out!
