Songs of Our Lives

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Peter Taylor! I’ve known Peter for nearly 20 years now - he’s a true Foxy Digitalis lifer, having first written for the site around 2006. He also makes music as MAbH, and is the person behind Foxy Digitalis’s Inside No. 9 podcast series. He’s a real one. So I’m thrilled to have him on for the 2025 Christmas Special talking childhood memories, favorite songs, emotional connections, and all of that. Classics by The Waitresses, Wham!, and The Pogues plus Nat King Cole’s golden voice, Cliff Richard’s full-on holidayfest, and plenty more!Listen to all of Peter’s picks HERE!Inside No. 9 on Foxy DigitalisMAbH BandcampFirst MAbH albumPeter on InstagramOmni Gardens “Christmas”Songs of Our Lives is a podcast series hosted by Brad Rose of Foxy Digitalis that explores the music that's made us and left a certain mark.
