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

This is one of many episodes that will focus on “Once More, With Feeling” from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Shoshana Greenberg joins me to analyze how the episode fits within musical theater conventions, what does and doesn’t work, and the short-lived sing-along events (that we’d love to see return!).

Shoshana is the host of the podcast “Scene to Song” which analyzes musical theater as literature. As a creator of musical theater, as well as a journalist and critic, Shoshana’s episodes examine a wide range of topics and bring in great guests like Michael R. Jackson (“A Strange Loop”) and Dr. Ashley Pribyl. I, also, happen to have been a guest - but I’ll let you determine if I’m a great one or not.
