MusicalSplaining

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.

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.

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 love your pod and this episode brought it to another level. Your sharp, incisive, and thoughtful commentary about 911 media was fantastic to listen to. Keep up the incredible work and don’t shy away from these tougher topics. Kaveh, never apologize for getting emotional- the personal lens you brought to this topic was an absolute gift to us listeners.

The hosts are great and have wonderful chemistry, but it’s a strange concept. If there were a pitch I can only imagine it. “What if we took a women whose knowledge of musicals was a mile wide and an inch deep and paired her with a man who hates musicals, and made them watch shows and talk about them?” Listen for a new perspective but don’t expect deep analysis.

…Even before Lindsay literally abandoned her own podcast, Kaveh seemed apathetic at best. Why even have this kind of show if the person isn’t interested in even debating WHY they dislike something? Everyone enjoys a good critique, but he just sounds bored and uninterested. Then Lindsay just.. left the show and was replaced with Angela, who unfortunately is more interested in talking about herself and practicing her singing than analyzing the musical of the week. I gave it quite a few episodes, but I’m pretty burnt out on it now.
