14 Aug 2019Come Play Wiz Me – Anyone Can Whistle (with Eric Matthew Richardson)01:16:05

Kyle's ability to do a French accent isn't very good. But this song, Come Play Wiz Me, is a fascinating example of pastiche. It's a musical style in which Stephen Sondheim is well known for. Eric Matthew Richardson returns to offer his expertise on that, plus gives a bunch of references ranging from Shakespeare to Monty Python.

03 Oct 2018Cool – West Side Story (with Ben Zuk)00:36:08

What's considered cool nowadays? Stephen Sondheim definitely didn't create the word cool, but he used it to great effect in West Side Story. While this may not be his most lyrically complex song it certainly has a purpose. Ben Zuk joins the podcast with his thoughts on the song and why it is so physically demanding to the performers.

Ben mentions his email which is: zuk.benjamin@gmail.com

08 Jan 2020Sorry-Grateful – Company (with Lauren Shippen)01:05:00

How can you feel sorry and grateful at the same time? I'm sure the Germans have a word for it. Lauren Shippen joins Kyle to discuss this odd feeling along with relationships and vulnerabilities.

You can see all that Lauren does by reading her website: https://www.laurenshippen.com
You can follow her on Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenshippen

You can purchase her debut novel, The Infinite Noise, at your local bookstore or right here: https://amzn.to/2QAmole

Two podcasts of hers that I'd like to highlight are:
The Bright Sessions - https://www.thebrightsessions.com/season-one - a science fiction podcast that follows a group of therapy patients. But these are not your typical patients - each has a unique supernatural ability. The show documents their struggles and discoveries as well as the motivations of their mysterious therapist, Dr. Bright.
Passenger List - https://passengerlist.org - A missing plane. A cabin full of suspects. A search for the truth.

Apparently in 1991 James Lapine made his feature film directing debut with the film Impromptu. It starred Judy Davis and Hugh Grant. It also features Emma Thompson, Bernadette Peters, and Mandy Patinkin. I don't think anyone remembers it.

It's been covered by many pop stars. It's message of looking towards the future for better days is also something that resonates with people even today. Perhaps even more-so today than ever before.

09 Jan 2019Small World – Gypsy (with Nathaniel Claridad)00:36:32

Nathaniel Claridad brings his experience as an actor, a director, and a (reluctant) producer to discuss Small World. This is a song in stark contrast to Mama Rose's first song, Some People. Instead of the brash chutzpah that has already been shown, this song is soft and intimate. Each actress to portray Rose has had a slightly different approach to singing it and the discussion turns to whether it works better to be sung sweetly or sensually.
