Ep. 26 Soundtracking Another Trip Around the Sun: Birthdays, Summer and Self-Reflection

In this episode, we’re keeping things light, reflective, and a little more personal as we mark my birthday week with a relaxed, chit-chat-style conversation. From the strange universality of the “Happy Birthday” song to the pop anthems that turn birthdays into a vibe, we explore how music shapes our milestones. We discuss the emotional role of music in birthdays, the rituals we create around it, and why we often return to nostalgic tracks during this time of year. Plus, we dive into summer songs — those feel-good tracks that become emotional time capsules.
