  • A very cheesy podcast.

    I like this show a lot and have listened for years, I do not like the rebrand that much because I personally enjoy musicals more, and think that it fits the format better, but the show still has the great chemistry from this trio, and it’s especially humorous when guests get involved. My only big problem is the swearing, I’m very much a prude when it comes to cuss words. But others won’t be bothered by it as much as me. Best part of the show is when they talk about that guy with the glasses. 4/5... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bonus: Interview w/ Sarah Elizabeth Grace
Q: And what was your initial spark that led you to write this piece?
The idea grew from examining gendered power dynamics and personal experiences in New York, shaping a story that challenges traditional gender roles and pushes audiences to reflect on their own beliefs.
BONUS: Interview with Joel B. New
Q: What is your favorite musicals and why?
Falsettos and Sunday in the Park with George shaped him early on; he also loves Rent and 1990s shows like Everybody's Talking About Jamie, which he finds resonates with contemporary audiences and reflects his own voice.
BONUS: Interview with Joel B. New
Q: Have you always wanted to be a composer specifically for musical theater, and what sparked that calling?
Yes, from a young age he pursued musicals, trained in performance, and gradually found his niche in composing, driven by personal voice and the desire to tell unique stories rather than follow conventional templates.
BONUS: Interview with Amanda Hunt
Q: What's a funny story that contrasts really well to something that you're trying to do?
I remember a time when I joined Sugar Daddy.com out of curiosity, which became a funny set-up for a song I sung in a cabaret, highlighting contrasts between my intention and the absurdity of the situation.
BONUS: Interview with Amanda Hunt
Q: What made you choose the Monica Lewinsky scandal to frame this cabaret musical around?
I thought Monica would be interesting because her story is so complicated and not one-note. I started trying to do impressions and wanted to build a political character set, but eventually realized Monica was the perfect focus for my interests.
