Quick Break

Now is the winter of our discontent… just kidding, we’re just taking a wee break while the year is quite busy to catch up on some things! We’ll be back before you know it. And while we’re gone, we’re going to be sharing a few special episodes… re-releases AND perhaps a surprise bonus?

Predictable

Some of you might be thinking we already did this theme, and honestly…fair, but this isn’t our Predictions episode, this is its annoying cousin Greg. And this time we’re leaning all the way into being predictable (though, let’s be real, we’ve never not embraced it). Enter Christine’s pick and song obsession, courtesy of her friend […]

Communion Song

Join us in song, won’t you? We need more community and less division these days. This week, our hosts share the songs that give that sense of shared understanding, togetherness, and perhaps even hope. Whether from singing together or singing along in isolation, we explore the songs that, religion aside, give us a sense of communion.

Funeral March

In this episode, we lean into our inner goths and imagine the songs we’d want played at our own memorials…IF we even have one. One of us goes full velvet-draped drama with sweeping strings and tragic romance; the other is all about spiritual soulfulness, reggae-tinged resilience, and a send-off that feels more like a tipsy singalong than a dirge. We may have gone in completely different directions, but we both love the way music holds our grief and our joy, and how being a little “death positive” can actually make life feel more vivid.

Put it in a Letter

This is our love letter to the lost art of letter-writing…in songs. Consider it a carefully folded note passed across time. Signed, sealed, AND delivered by the Postal Service, or by hand. Song as letter, or letter as song, whatever the concept, these musical missives hit our hearts in ways an email can’t.

Scary Songs

“The foulest stench’s in the airThe funk of forty thousand yearsAnd grizzly ghouls from every tomb Are closing in to seal your doom…” Who said these haunting words? Was it Edgar Allen Poe? Mary Shelly? Bram Stoker? Nah, it’s the Prince of Pop, M.J.! You know, Thriller!!??!!!! Did that tip you off to our theme […]

Go Corporate!

Your eyes are not deceiving you–we are indeed going corporate! At least for this episode, wherein we reflect on the strange sorcery of songs from commercials: the ones that, for a moment, make you forget you’re a cog in the sparkling machine of late capitalism. Sure, they were used to sell us stuff, but we still kind of love them.

Decadence

From glitter to dust and lugubrious Balkan brassy indie waltzes, we wade into the lush layers of musical decadence. Melancholy meets spectacle. Longing meets the dance floor. Find out why surrender sometimes feels like survival, and whether we’re living in a decadent moment ourselves.

cartoon theme songs

Ah, the joy of an animated TV show. Whether watching a Saturday morning cartoon, something not quite suitable for children, or the classics from the days of yore, you can probably bet on one thing—you’re gonna hear a bangin’ theme song.

Time Travel

What if time travel was about chasing the music you wish you could’ve felt in real time? In this episode we daydream our way into those moments, hearing first notes and electric performances as if they were happening now. It’s complicated, it’s joyful, and it’s all about how music lets us bend time, and, of course, as always, our minds!
