63! Nostalgia for Musicals and Dealing With Dying


Listen Later

How has nostalgia affected musical theater? And why is dying so hard? [23:19]
This week, mystical guest Dylan, Joey, and Jess talk about Shakespeare, Waitress, mandarins v. clementines [19:59], the symbiosis between old and young people, observando el Día de los Muertos, and #folkwisdom. They don't talk about Kimiko Glenn's knockout delivery of "When He Sees Me."
