Running Wild With Animal Anthems

Welcome back to What’s In Your Earbuds?, the podcast where endurance training meets music, laughter, and conversations that absolutely do not stay on track and we wouldn’t have it any other way.


In this Animals Edition, Joe Hardin and I dive into songs that feature animals in the title, lyrics, or artist name, and what starts as a simple playlist idea quickly turns into a full-blown musical safari. From iconic classics like Eye of the Tiger to unexpected community deep cuts, this episode proves that animal-themed songs might be the most underrated training fuel out there.


We talk about why playlists matter, how lyrics can change your mood mid-run, and why the weirdest songs often carry us through the hardest miles. Along the way, our live community shows up with chaotic brilliance, turning the conversation into a shared experience that’s equal parts fun and motivating.


What’s In Your Earbuds? is about more than music. It’s about connection, joy, and remembering that training should still make you smile. No podiums required. Just miles, music, and a little chaos.
