As someone who has spent years immersed in the study and production of musical theater, I feel compelled to express my deep frustration with this podcast. It’s glaringly obvious that the host lacks both the academic foundation and practical experience necessary to speak authoritatively on musicals. Too often, he reduces complex works to surface-level commentary, missing the historical, musical, and dramaturgical nuance that defines the genre. His commentary is frequently inaccurate, yet delivered with unwarranted confidence. It misleads listeners by presenting opinion as expertise. This podcast shouldn’t be taken seriously by true theater professionals.
