It's the beginning of our 15th year on the air, so let's share it with some of the performers who always make me happy: Idina Menzel, Barbara Harris, Eddie Cantor, Alfred Drake, Pearl Bailey, André De Shields and so many more.

Consider this a round of Bromo-Seltzers to bring you back to real life after a busy set of holidays; songs about drinks and their aftermath from Tammy Grimes, Jackie Gleason, Patti LuPone, and more.

We remember the vast possibilities of the giants of the musical stage who left us in 2025: Linda Lavin, Tom Lehrer, Cleo Laine, Charles Strouse and more.

What better way to celebrate 2025 than on the air with the Broadway performer who made it her favorite year: Jasmine Amy Rogers. She joins us for classic songs for the holidays by Nat "King"Cole, the Jackson 5, Eddie Cantor and of course some Boop!

We're sending songs in your general direction with two implacable knights of the musical Round Table--Eric Idle and John Du Prez--the songwriters of Spamalot in our studio; plus numerous other Python musical treats.

Our celebrity centenary celebration for 2025 begins with a tribute to Dick Van Dyke, beloved star of stage (Bye Bye Birdie) and screen (Mary Poppins, etc.). Guests include Chita Rivera, Mary Tyler Moore, and of course Julie Andrews--plus some Dick Van Dyke show tune rarities!

To celebrate our 600th episode, we're highlighting my favorite songs from my favorite shows--Broadway winners, every one, from On the Twentieth Century, Show Boat, My Fair Lady, Sweeney Todd, and more.

As a follow-up to our "Songs I Don't Like from Shows I Do" (and a precursor to our upcoming 600th episode), an encore presentation of tunes from Wonderful Town, Pippin, The Music Man and more--everybody's favorites but mine.
