    S04E006: Setting The Table #000 - Welcome To The Table (Anita+Eileen+Aimee)

    Welcome to Setting The Table! (Anita, Eileen, & Aimee) This is Episode 000 of Setting The Table, where we set the scene for what this podcast is all about and what listeners can expect in future episodes. Setting The Table is an interview-based podcast that blends conversation with food challenges. Guests choose a category—spicy, sweet, or sour—and the food they pick determines the type of questions they’ll answer. If a guest doesn’t want to eat the food or answer the question, the hosts take on the challenge instead, often with unexpected (and sometimes gross) results. Every episode features new foods, honest reactions, and plenty of laughs. In this debut episode, the hosts introduce themselves, explain how the show works, share how the podcast came together, and talk about their favorite foods. Future episodes will feature interviews with friends, teachers, and maybe even a famous guest someday. Setting The Table is all about personality, reactions, and having fun while getting to know people in a totally different way.

    S04E001: Hamiltalk #000 - What’s His Name, Man? (Cass+Kat)

    Hamiltalk — S04E001: What’s His Name, Man? Welcome to Hamiltalk, the podcast where it happens. In our very first episode, hosts Kat and Cass take their shot and introduce a brand-new podcast all about Hamilton: An American Musical. This kickoff episode is all about getting to know us, why we started this show, and what you can expect as we dive song-by-song into the music, characters, themes, and behind-the-scenes details that make Hamilton such a powerful and unforgettable experience. Whether you’re a longtime superfan or someone who’s only seen the show once, Hamiltalk is a space to explore everything that makes this musical hit so hard. In this episode, we talk about: Why Kat has been obsessed with Hamilton since she was young Cass’s perspective as someone newer to the show Favorite songs and characters, and the moments that get the biggest reactions from the audience How Hamilton was inspired by a biography Lin-Manuel Miranda read while on vacation What future episodes will look like, including our two-song-per-episode format A fun BuzzFeed quiz to figure out which Hamilton character we are (play along at home!) Going forward, each episode of Hamiltalk will focus on two songs in order from the soundtrack. We’ll use them as a jumping-off point to talk about characters, plot, musical motifs, recurring melodies, themes, and anything else that feels fair game. Expect strong opinions, passionate reactions, lots of questions, and plenty of excitement along the way. We also kick things off with a BuzzFeed quiz to find out which Hamilton character we are.
