Main Topic: Award winning filmmaker, singer-songwriter Tammy Tuckey joins the gals this week! There may or may not be some duets and more!

Bio:

About Tammy Tuckey: In 2010, 14-year old Tammy Tuckey, an avid Disney listener, grew increasingly frustrated that she could never find a show that highlighted the individuals she admired most – the talents behind Disney films, music, television shows, and theme-parks. She began a weekly, iTunes podcast called The Tiara Talk Show in 2013, and has hosted, produced & edited over 200 different episodes. Her interview credits include Helen Reddy, Ed Asner, Debbie Reynolds, Susan Sarandon, Stephen Schwartz, Sounds of Blackness, Nathaniel Parker, Marsha Thomason, Don Hahn, Bruce Broughton, Brenda Chapman, the original Mouseketeers (Cubby O'Brien, Nancy Abbate, Lonnie Burr and Bobby Burgess) and theme-park cast members. Aside from hosting The Tiara Talk Show, Tuckey is a trained singer, actress, director ("Dracula: A Play in One Act), songwriter (iTunes single "After the End of the Story") and an Emmy Award®-winning filmmaker ("More Than A Blanket"). She has starred in over 20 theatrical productions, including High School Musical (Gabriella Montez), Pippin (Grandma Berthe), Play On! (Phyllis Montague) and Beauty & the Beast (Belle). Recently, her song cover of the Jessica Rabbit tune "Why Don't You Do Right?" reached over 3+ million hits on YouTube. In 2016, Tammy partnered with HER Interactive to produce and host the first official Nancy Drew podcast, "Unlocked," that reaches over 100,000 fans per episode.

To keep up with Tammy Tuckey and her latest projects, follow her on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.
