Sad 🥹 and whole lotta love

Anytime this podcast shows up my day is brighter. I wish it would continue but if it’s not bringing you guys happiness I understand the need to move on. Please know I have enjoyed every episode…even if you love/hate on one of my favorites. I will miss you guys.

Can’t stop listening

Love Lindsay, Angie and Kaveh! I have to consciously hold myself back from just binging every episode. Thanks for putting together this wonderful podcast, it’s been such a joy listening. Moulin Rouge is my favorite episode so far, and I’m looking forward to checking out Xanadu based on your discussion about it. Lindsay, thank you especially for being you. Don’t let the haters drag you down, you’re one of a kind and deeply appreciated by many. Keep it up you three!!

I really want to like this podcast but the cursing is grating

I curse a lot, I do, but the cursing in this podcast is just too grating. It’s starting to become an oratorical tick that you start to cringe to after the 10th time the same way you pick up on your least fave teacher saying “mmm’kay” — not good.

Otherwise I love their takes on whats happening in musicals right now. It’s fresh, lively, and funny! But if you have a choice to not hear the cursing, that would be great.
