Songs That Spell It Out | What’s In Your Earbuds? 🎶

Описание: Welcome back to What’s In Your Earbuds? on the Everyday Athlete Podcast Network where playlists meet pace charts and conversations go wonderfully off the rails.

On this episode of Run Tri Bike’s favorite music hangout, Joe Hardin and I dive into a theme that seemed simple at first… until it absolutely wasn’t: songs that spell words out in the lyrics or title.

You know the ones. The songs that live rent-free in your brain.
The idea came from a road trip conversation. It was one of those “Hey, that might make a fun episode” thoughts. We figured we’d maybe scrape together a handful of songs. Instead? We uncovered a musical rabbit hole deep enough to fill an ultra aid station playlist.

From the undeniable power of Aretha Franklin’s “R-E-S-P-E-C-T” to Queen Latifah’s “U.N.I.T.Y.” and the eternal arms-in-the-air commitment of “Y.M.C.A,” In these songs, and others, you don’t think the letters. You hear them.

And then our live audience showed up and took this thing to another level.
Chris Cedar dropped the Mickey Mouse theme. My sister reminded us about Gwen Stefani’s legendary B-A-N-A-N-A-S. Ryan Reynolds (our unofficial music encyclopedia) rolled in with deep cuts from Weird Al and Limp Bizkit like it was casual Tuesday trivia night.

The hip-hop contributions alone could’ve been their own episode—Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Nelly, Method Man. These artists didn’t just understand the assignment.....they redefined it.

Joe and I also talk about how this show has grown. We used to stress about hitting 28 minutes. Now we’re cruising past an hour like it’s a recovery run. The vibe is loose, the laughs are real, and the community engagement is next level.

During this episode alone, we added nearly 20 songs to our What’s In Your Earbuds playlist, bringing us to 24 hours of music. Our goal was 75 hours for the year. At this pace? We might need to think bigger.

So if you’re an everyday athlete who believes training should come with a soundtrack, if you like your podcast conversations a little chaotic but full of heart, and if you’ve ever spelled a word in your head because of a song…
This episode is for you.
