A man of many talents, Keanan Duffty is our guest for this episode. His band, Slinky Vagabond, has a new album coming out on January 14th. You can pre-order that here. He is also a fashion designer, one who has collaborated with the iconic David Bowie on his 2008 fashion line for Target. Since Keanan is a Bowie fan and collaborator, Ryan and Nicole thought it would be only fitting to talk to him about Jim Henson's 1986 film, Labyrinth. Bowie not only starred in the film as The Goblin King, Jareth, but he also wrote songs for the film.Chapters00: Intro to Keanan Duffty - Fashion Designer / Author / Lecturer / Rock Star9:30 Labyrinth22:21 Casting Jennifer Connelly and David Bowie27:58 Theories on Bowie Never Performing the Labyrinth Songs Love / Keanan's Bowie Collaboration36:55 The Labyrinth Soundtrack47:21 The Puppets of Labyrinth and Reception to the Movie in UK58:13 Bowie's Acting in Labyrinth1:01:58 SYL Episodes with Bowie Music and References / Bowie's Film and TV Cameos1:14:00 ClosingFor More about Keanan Duffty:Website: https://keananduffty.comhttps://www.slinkyvagabond.netInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/keananduffty/We would love it if you would join our Patreon membership, where you will get quarterly bonus episodes, early access to our regular episodes and more!Soundtrack Your Life SocialsBlueskyInstagramWriting SiteYouTubePatreon Learn more about your ad choices.

Ever put on a specific album and suddenly you’re right back in a pivotal scene from your favorite film? That’s the territory explored in Soundtrack Your Life, hosted by Nicole Barlow and Ryan Pak. This isn’t just a rundown of great songs; it’s a conversation about how film and television music weaves itself into our personal histories. Each episode brings in a different guest who picks a soundtrack that holds a unique key to their own story, creating a wonderfully varied listen. One week you might be deep in the cultural phenomenon of a multi-platinum selling juggernaut, and the next, championing a beloved, obscure score that never got its due. Through these personal lenses, the podcast naturally uncovers the hidden details and production lore you might have missed, while also sparking friendly debates about those truly iconic musical moments. It’s for anyone who’s ever felt a movie’s emotion amplified by a perfect song choice, or who believes a great soundtrack does more than accompany a story-it becomes a part of your own. Tune in for thoughtful, human conversations that remind you why these collections of music matter so much.
