The Life is in the Lyrics Podcast ·

2026/10/07

From dodging pickleball to high school reunions at funerals to shouting out to our oldest(?) fan, (Hey Sandra C!), this week is all about Barbra Streisand (that's Strei-SAND!) - a topic inspired by our Celine Dion episode 2 weeks back. But Celine isn't the only Canadian that Babs has dueted with, so listen in as we recount which memories light the corners of our mind of our love for Babs--the only artist to hit the Billboard chart in 6 consecutive decades. Wow, she truly is Evergreen!

The Life is in the Lyrics Podcast ·

2026/09/09

It's been a whirlwind month for our beleaguered and battered hosts and this episode is basically an eruption of allll that's been happening and continues to happen, how it's kept them apart like two ships passing in the night, and how music has (in Priya's case) or hasn't (in Mike's case) been helping them cope. As the saying goes: 'this too shall pass' so let's see if Mike and Priya are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel...not THAT tunnel folks. They old but they not THAT old!
