SUBSCRIBE TO IMPOSSIBLE WAY OF LIFE ON PATREON TO ACCESS FULL EPISODE https://www.patreon.com/animpossiblewayoflife Believe us, there is a big difference between doing music and making music. We are still refining this fresh hot take, but it applies to anyone who has dabbled in the impossible way of life. One thing we know for sure...it's all about balance.

Episode 501 - An Hour With Mikaela Davis and John Lee...

Impossible Way Of Life ·

2026/03/04

We are joined by two fine musicians, and even finer people, Mikaela Davis and John Lee Shannon to discuss Mikaela's new record "Graceland Way", which was produced by the two of them along side friend of the pod Dan Horne. They are also both members of The Grateful Shred so we talk a lot of jam. Is it easy to jam on a harp, you ask? You'll have to listen to find out.

Impossible Way Of Life ·

From Pink Floyd's "Meddle" to the origins of Infected Clown to the Piazza test, this episode has a lot of seriously hot takes. We may have just solved the mystery of starting a successful band too.

In old school IWOL fashion, we get together, have a few drinks and do a podcast. What happens after that is in the ear of the beholder and the lap of the patrons. We do discuss who the most "New York" musicians are though.

The Atom...The Heart...The Mother. The essence of all life. The beginnings of all creation. The most fundamental principles at the core of all existence on this planet. Aaaand a pretty decent Pink Floyd album.

Impossible Way Of Life ·

2026/02/11

We are joined by music supervisor, LA punk scenester, singer, songwriter and all around music lover, Tiffany Anders. Most recently you may have heard some tunes Tiffany likes on the soundtracks of hit shows like "The Lowdown" and "Reservation Dogs", but today she helps us trace the histories of American Indie Rock from SST to Sub Pop to...wherever we are now.

SUBSCRIBE TO IMPOSSIBLE WAY OF LIFE ON PATREON TO ACCESS FULL EPISODE https://www.patreon.com/animpossiblewayoflife Floyd February carries on with our take on a record that sees a great band at a crossroads and, quite possibly, on the verge of collapse. Listening to this album is like hearing the group navigate a future without their spiritual leader, principal songwriter and frontman, Syd Barrett. Spoiler alert: It turned out alright for them in the end.

Episode 490 - The 2026 Jam Summit (Feat. Dan Horne...

Impossible Way Of Life ·

2026/01/21

Johnny is joined by Alex Bleeker and Dan Horne, two totemic pillars of the jam community. It took the passing of Bob Weir for this show to finally happen, and if there was ever a friendly rivalry between these two men, now is the time to leave it behind and come together in service of this beloved music. If we hesitate, John Mayer and Dave Matthews could take over for good.

Episode 488 - An Hour With Justin Gage

Impossible Way Of Life ·

2026/01/14

On today's episode we are joined by Justin Gage, the man who started Aquarium Drunkard way back in 2005. If you have followed music over the past 20 years, you have almost certainly been turned onto a new (or old) record by his thoughtfully and carefully curated audio journal. Justin is a real head and we had a great time chatting with him. We need folks like him more than ever these days so tune in and hear what he had to say.
