Lauren and Karen return from their travels and have much to discuss! Broadway, the West End, Stratford, bad audience members! We talk about the great theatre we saw and agree that we are anti-projections.

Our twist on F*, Marry, Kill - find out what shows we would work on, sit in the audience, or just ditch completely. A lot of DSL team field trips coming out of this one. And the Pod Hobo (tm) is still here too!

This week Karen flaunts her Muppet knowledge as we cast a few of our favorite musicals using some of Jim Henson's most beloved creations (looking at you Camilla the Chicken). The Pod Hobo (tm) gives his opinion and we accidentally talk about feet.

Today we are again joined by Pod Hobo (tm) Ryan as Lauren takes us on a deep dive of Bye Bye Birdie. We debate about why Karen and Lauren are both menaces to work with, while Ryan sips all of his beverages.

This week the Pod Hobo (tm) is back and we're immediately extra unhinged. We're in our tortured artist era today as Karen takes us through a deep dive of the musical Nine. Find out how we weigh in on an OG F-boy. And why a dark angsty ending is more appealing than a happy one.

What do you think?

We've been talking about it for a minute, today Karen and Lauren chat about some of our favorite secondary characters. All the fun, none of the responsibility of the plot, and arguably always more compelling... what could be better?

Did we miss anyone???

We tackle a listener request (from months ago, sorry!) and Karen deep dives Assassins. Before Hamilton, there was Assassins. A lesser known Steve Sondheim show, this show packs a punch and in today's political climate more relevant than before.

We're back from our week off with a deep dive of The Addams Family Musical! We have thoughts about pacing (always), the moon, and Grandma and Lurch: the buddy cop movie we all deserve.

Also this is a special post because today's episode drops on Lauren's birthday!

Today we're all about fan related content. Lauren really outdoes herself with a tantalizing tale of plague and sausage. Come for Karen's guessing skills, stay for the plague sausage! Plus we read a fan email (Hi, Emily!) who makes a very valid suggestion that just might happen...

Send us your insane fanfictions!
