| 4/29/26 |  Episode 517 - Sam Blasucci's Physical Dream | A couple of summers ago Sam went and visited Johnny on the coast of Vancouver island and together they recorded almost 40 songs. Now 28 of those songs have been released. That seemed like something worth doing a podcast about. | 1h 05m 09s | ||||||
| 4/26/26 | (TEASER) Episode 516 - An Hour With STACEY | SUBSCRIBE TO IMPOSSIBLE WAY OF LIFE ON PATREON TO ACCESS FULL EPISODE https://www.patreon.com/animpossiblewayoflife At long last we are joined by our long time pal and fellow Pop Tunesmith STACEY. Over the hour we discussed everything from her run in with Sir Paul McCartney to threading the needle between Heritage Revivalism and Contemporary Pop to Fleetwood Mac's "Tusk". Stacey is the best and we are so thrilled to finally have her on. | 9m 59s | ||||||
| 4/22/26 | Episode 515 - Dazzle Me | James gives Johnny a hard hitting, Charlie Rose style interview about his new album "Dazzle Me". | 1h 08m 17s | ||||||

More importantly though, we went to the best bar in Vancouver (Tafs) to get fired up beforehand. | 9m 57s | ||||||
| 4/15/26 | Episode 513 - A Conversation About Big Star | BIG STAR, the greatest band that never got BIG. Or at least not until it was too late. This was mostly a discussion about the two main characters in the Big Star story: Alex Chilton and Chris Bell. So much so, that we ranked both of them. | 1h 03m 26s | ||||||
| 4/12/26 | (TEASER) Episode 512 - Masters Sunday | SUBSCRIBE TO IMPOSSIBLE WAY OF LIFE ON PATREON TO ACCESS FULL EPISODE https://www.patreon.com/animpossiblewayoflife A Sunday slice on one of Johnny's favourite days of the year. | 9m 57s | ||||||
| 4/8/26 | Episode 511 - Pilgrim Pirate Pagan Revisited | We finally get a start on our Pilgrim Pirate Pagan venn diagram, but there's a whole lot more in this episode beyond that. For those of you who may be new to the show, this is a taste of Classic IWOL. | 1h 03m 18s | ||||||
| 4/5/26 | (TEASER) Episode 501 - The IWOL Recording Manifesto (Part 3 - feat Trevor Spencer) | SUBSCRIBE TO IMPOSSIBLE WAY OF LIFE ON PATREON TO ACCESS FULL EPISODE https://www.patreon.com/animpossiblewayoflife Trevor is back to continue the important work we're doing on this recording manifesto. We all had to take a long hard into the mirror and face the music on this one. We might never record a song the same again once this is through. If you consider yourself a heritage revivalist, you don't wanna miss this series. | 10m 01s | ||||||
| 4/1/26 | Episode 509 - An Hour With Darius Van Arman | Today we are joined by Indie Rock royalty. We have the founder and curator of Jagjaguwar Records, Darius Van Arman, on the show. Darius has been a champion of great songs, freaky artists, and rock n roll individualism since 1996 when he started the label, and here he is, 30 years later, still doin it. | 1h 05m 12s | ||||||

Trevor Spencer) | SUBSCRIBE TO IMPOSSIBLE WAY OF LIFE ON PATREON TO ACCESS FULL EPISODE https://www.patreon.com/animpossiblewayoflife We needed to bring in a major player like two time Grammy nominee Trevor Spencer to really figure this thing out. We are getting to the core of something that feels very important. A set of old school principles for a new school of heritage revivalist recording freaks. | 9m 59s | ||||||
| 3/25/26 | Episode 507 - IWOL Live from Max Clarke's Car | Max is rattling down streets in a Fender humming panic. His Princeton is on the outs, more whole lotta nothing than whole lotta love. We make a call, so he puts the car in idle to cough up half remembered dreams while New York leaks past the windshield in streaks. Cut Worms are gearing up for another North American odyssey in support of “Transmitter,” and he talks to us live from the driver’s seat about the great American rock existentialists, Chilton, Westerberg, Elliott Smith, and beyond.

| 3/22/26 | (TEASER) Episode 506 - The IWOL Recording Manifesto (Part 1) | SUBSCRIBE TO IMPOSSIBLE WAY OF LIFE ON PATREON TO ACCESS FULL EPISODE https://www.patreon.com/animpossiblewayoflife We reclaim the word LEGIT for the way WE like to make music. The Beatos and Colliers of the world be damned. Also on this episode: a round of "Funny / Not Funny"...a new way to decide if bands are good or not. | 10m 19s | ||||||
| 3/18/26 | Episode 505 - An Hour With Madison Cunningham | In one of the great pleasures of our podcasting lives, we are joined by the ever charming and inspiring Madison Cunningham to discuss her incredible new record, "Ace". | 1h 04m 59s | ||||||
| 3/15/26 | (TEASER) Episode 504 - The Lovely Lads | SUBSCRIBE TO IMPOSSIBLE WAY OF LIFE ON PATREON TO ACCESS FULL EPISODE https://www.patreon.com/animpossiblewayoflife In the wake of all this recent "going legit" business, the lads get together for an informal Sunday chat. | 9m 53s | ||||||
| 3/11/26 | Episode 503 - IWOL x Jokermen - Man On The Run | We team up with the Jokermen podcast to discuss the hot new Macca doc, "Man On The Run". | 1h 06m 41s | ||||||
| 3/8/26 | (TEASER) Episode 502 - Making Music vs Doing Music | 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. | 10m 03s | ||||||
| 3/4/26 | Episode 501 - An Hour With Mikaela Davis and John Lee Shannon | 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. | 1h 06m 27s | ||||||
| 3/1/26 | (TEASER) Episode 500 | SUBSCRIBE TO IMPOSSIBLE WAY OF LIFE ON PATREON TO ACCESS FULL EPISODE https://www.patreon.com/animpossiblewayoflife Well, it's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n roll and, as of today, we've done 500 hours of this demented business. To celebrate this milestone we decided to feel ourselves by going through some of the all time greatest IWOL moments and episodes and a few surprise guests even make an appearance. Thanks to all of you who have been with us from the beginning or joined us ... | 10m 00s | ||||||
| 2/25/26 | Episode 499 - Meddle (and the rules to starting a band) | 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. | 1h 01m 49s | ||||||
| 2/22/26 | (TEASER) Episode 498 - Friday Night Fever | SUBSCRIBE TO IMPOSSIBLE WAY OF LIFE ON PATREON TO ACCESS FULL EPISODE https://www.patreon.com/animpossiblewayoflife Sometimes the boys just need a breather. 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. | 9m 59s | ||||||
| 2/18/26 | Episode 497 - Atom Heart Mother | 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. | 59m 48s | ||||||
| 2/15/26 | (TEASER) Episode 496 - Netherworld Mentality | SUBSCRIBE TO IMPOSSIBLE WAY OF LIFE ON PATREON TO ACCESS FULL EPISODE https://www.patreon.com/animpossiblewayoflife You'll have to listen to know what this one is all about... | 9m 55s | ||||||
| 2/11/26 | Episode 495 - An Hour With Tiffany Anders | 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. | 1h 07m 01s | ||||||
| 2/8/26 | (TEASER) Episode 494 - A Saucerful Of Secrets | 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. | 9m 56s | ||||||
