  • Great interview! Great guests!

    I had heard of the Dear Multi-hypenate podcast and Michael Kushner before so I was happy to check out his BroadwayCon 2023 panel. The panel had the loveliest guests and was full of laughter, encouragement, creating Titanique, relationships, and more. Highly recommend the live recording of the episode and look forward to checking out more episodes.

  • Crucial- especially for young people!

    The industry requires us to be multi-hyphenates now. If you want to do something creative, and not wait for someone else to say yes, you have to do it yourself. Michael brings on the best of the best in the field to educate on how to not wait for permission to live a full artistic life. This should be required listening for every young person getting into the entertainment industry. I have learned so much by listening!
