…and this podcast does not miss a single one of them. I am so glad I’ve discovered Kyle when he was a guest on Broadway Breakdown with Matt Koplik. Kyle’s podcast is so detailed and meticulous—every lyric, every word of Sondheim scores are explored and examined with an array of terrific guests. Bravo! Sidebar: The timbre of Kyle’s voice is engaging, a joy to listen to.
