This one is worth it. Patrick Flynn is a great host and the conversations are always interesting. This is an A+ show.
Podcast’s still great, tho
One of my favorite podcasts! Every guest and every episode provides such a great insight into every recording they cover!
I usually get very excited about this show. Not today. If the host does not like the broadway show i think he should at least do a bit research before talking about it. It was obvious he did not do research or know the show but he certainly had his biases. The guest also didn’t seem to know the show thoroughly but had memories . I gotta say I usually enjoy the show, especially when the conversations deal with the actual show and not the many tangents.
Feels like Film Crush for musicals! I found this because Elliot Kalan was a guest, and then I picked 30 more episodes over the past 5 years. Great audio drops! Pleasant and enjoyable.
