This week, I’m joined by Ed Cunard—co-host of Fawkes & Friends—as we curate a karaoke-themed playlisty that hits all the right notes.

On one side, we break down the most overplayed karaoke songs and clichés we’ve seen over the years. On the other, we spotlight the ultimate karaoke crowd-pleasers: songs guaranteed to spark a sing-along and bring the house down.

We also dive into karaoke etiquette (yes, it exists!) and how regional differences can influence everything from song choice to crowd energy.

Whether you’re a karaoke veteran or just getting started, this episode is your guide to mastering the mic.
