Vrana Cat ,

Silly yet informative

This is the only musical podcast I listen to. It’s equal parts caring and irreverent in a way that makes it very approachable to people like me who love the idea of musical theater but mostly just listen to the same cast albums from their childhood with very little being added to the rotation. I’ve been listening for years, and I feel like it’s made me much more fond of musical theater as an art form, plus one of their ads told me about a performance of the secret garden I was able to get tickets to, and I’d literally been wanting to see that show for about 30 years. Cheers guys, and keep up the good work.

A Fun Listen (with a questionable take)

I really enjoyed listening to a handful of episodes during my commute. However, upon listening to the Anastasia episode I was disappointed to hear you refer to The Nostalgia Critic/Doug Walker as “my man” - yikes - and had to detract a star. We all make mistakes, though, so looking forward to giving you guys another try next episode!
