Once More, With Feeling Podcast: When TV Breaks into Song

For episode one, I invited Brandon to grill me on why I’m doing a podcast about this topic. This also sets a few seeds in motion for future episodes and hopefully inspires you all to think about television and musicals a little differently already. We get into consumer culture, philosophy, and I may have even coined a new phrase - “speech in drag.”
