You're Dead to Me - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I love this show and I'm so happy you did an episode on Broadway, but how could you cover the history of Broadway and not mention Jonathan Larson's impact on the industry? Countless theatre artists cite Rent as the reason they got into theatre. Including Lin Manuel Miranda, who you brought up multiple times. To not mention it is irresponsible and does a huge disservice to his legacy. And erases the struggles and contributions of the queer community which helped to reinvigorate Broadway through works such as Rent, which paved the way for shows like Spring Awakening and Hamilton to be created in the first place.

This show is perfect for you if you love humor but struggle with history (like me). I’ve been listening for years and thoroughly enjoy the interactions between Greg Jenner (the host), the guest historian, and the guest comedian. It’s a great way to laugh while learning.

I listen to this while I work in an archive. It’s the perfect balance of entertainment and education- a rare thing!

I love this podcast - I just discovered it and I’ve been marathoning all the episodes. Love the combination of scholarship and humor. And I love that they choose guests/scholars who embody the cultures they’re talking about! Really adds to the experience! Keep it up!
