Hello, Hello! This week's episode of HWYW features IN THE HEIGHTS star and creator LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA, who joins us to discuss the process of writing the opening musical number from this year's Tony Awards with Neil Patrick Harris, whether Eminem or Sondheim is gayer, and how Antonio Banderas interpreted the Phantom of the Opera vocally. Also: ruminations about the changing seasons, an unusual way to unwind after this week's episode of BREAKING BAD, things we didn't ask Julie Chen about her face full of secrets, and the thing that guy who designs food animals for CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS 2 tells his friends. A good show. A FINE show.

The world is TERRIBLE but your friend Julie is here to chat with you and help pass the time. This week we discuss Debbie Reynolds, precocious children, and chat with Nate about the time Julie abandoned him at a screening of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Then we have the supreme honor of talking to Ada Calhoun about Why We Can't Sleep, her incredible book about Gen X women. Thank god for Sondheim!

Julie has found the source of the virus and it all comes down to Renée Zellweger. In other news, we discuss The Taking of Pelham 123, a seitan brisket, and the beautiful women of vintage prison films. Stay indoors and watch TCM, pals.
