July 22, 2020My Fabric Barrier - After Show
We're taking the week off, but we didn't want to leave you nice people without something to listen to. So, we're unlocking the After Show from our recent visit about Hamilton with Producer Quinn.
More Hamilton talk (duh); questions on contemporary punctuation; some philosophical email discourse; Quinn totally got a cat!; Merlin's mother-in-law ruled; Alex thinks the olds should be allowed to do whatever they want; this whole reopen schools things sure is a mess; is Quinn a tong?; theme dining nights are explored; finally, salt is amazing.
