The Life is in the Lyrics Podcast

Ep. 45 You Call This a Banger?!

We be settlin' into the school year, complaining about family-induced stress, The Flintstones, and gay competitive cooking (huh?). Then it's onto the art of crafting the perfect banger, and we think y'all know where Priya's mind goes. Sooo predictable.

Ep. 44 Paying the Music Forward

This week we blabber on about engagements and babies, while Priya overshares (again) about car insurance and lady-bits. But the heart of the episode is about Carly Rae....AND being grateful-to those who have introduced new artists onto our playlists and into our music-lovin' lives!

Ep. 43 Take Us to the Church of Music

We've been apart for a month so we got a LOT of catching up to do before we go all meta and talk about songs that talk about the importance or enjoyment of music. We cover encounters with bylaw officers, cottage life, the Toronto harbour front on summer nights and a failed romance that lead to Mike meeting his future husband. Grab a drink and settle in folks, this is a long one!

Ep. 42 A Question of Lust

In the first episode from our series exploring the 7 Deadly Sins we discuss temptation and filthy but oh SO fun lust! Plus, Mike foreshadows turning into a grumpy old man yelling at kids to ‘get off his damn lawn’ and Priya breaks the first rule of improv. Get ready for some chaos folks!

Ep. 41 We Got SWAG

We talk all things Bieber as we chat about his new album and the up and downsides of fame. Plus, does Priya have ADHD? Mike seems to think so. Listen and decide for yo damn selves!

Ep. 40 Do You Really Want To Live Forever?

Priya's got a new 'bidness partner', Mike brings zero songs to discuss and we go deep, like REALLY deep as we chat about the prevalence of the age 17 in songs, the realities of getting older and Kris Jenner's new face.

Ep. 39 Feelin' HOT HOT HOT!

It’s our ‘song of the summer’ episode! We sweat it out reminiscing about summers past, Mike pulls out a relic from his past and Priya starts the episode off with a mea culpa…or as she’s now coined it, a Priya-culpa.  We might all need a cold shower after this one!

Ep. 38 A Tribute to 2 Legends

Brian Wilson (The Beach Boys) and Sly Stone (Sly and the Family Stone) were born the same year and passed within a day of one another. We honour these musical legends and remark on both the similarities and differences in their lives and careers. Masters in their respective genres, their influence and genius lives on.

Ep. 37 Happy Canada Day, Eh!

Elbows up and get the flags out bys! This week is all about celebrating incredible Canadian musicians who've changed music for the better and our hosts challenge each other with music trivia. Plus--HURRAY--we've got listener email! See? It's the little things in life and that make this LIITL podcast happy. Now let's get FUBAR-ed!

Ep. 36 Pour Some Sugar on the Birthday Boy

This week Priya picks songs with 'sugar' in the title as the theme, for no other reason than to torture Mike who's on a sugar cleanse. Why? Because it's his birthday week! Happy birthday to the co-host who puts up with a gal who talks way too much, and who puts the 'sweet' into 'the sweet life'.
