    I’m currently traveling and one of my traveling musts is redownloading The Fiddler on the Roof episode. The work and care that Jonathan puts into this podcast is seen and appreciated.

  • I would give this show 76 Trombones if I could!

    The theater best friend you always wanted. Every episode has so much work out into it, you can feel the passion and dedication.

    My favorite part is when the podcaster compares different productions/cast albums and we can hear stars from a lifetime ago with contemporary artists.

  • Always a fun listen - even when the shows talked about are fairly obscure ("Don't Bother Me, I Can't Cope," anyone?). Jon is knowledgeable and hilarious! One of my favorites!
