2023 sees the release of Simon’s six-episode podcast series: Minuscule Musical. Minuscule Musical is a show where the hosts have written a short (minuscule) musical where form, structure, and good taste is stretched to its limits and ultimately asks: What is a musical anyway? Each 25-minute episode features Yon (Tripod) and one of his guest collaborators (including Sammy J, Jude Perl, Margot Morales, Karl’s Zaid, Andrew Patterson and Gillian Cosgriff) performing for the first time (and then discussing) their tiny show in front of a live audience.
