This week I was joined by the lovely Adrianne Chu. We chatted about the life of a dance major, what it's like working on a cruise ship, tackling The Lion King, and some awesome special skills.

This week I was joined by the wonderful Leslie Espinosa! We chatted about her introduction to theatre, her life as a Filipino-American, how she got into hair design, living in the Philippines, and what brought her back to the United States.

P.S. This episode was scheduled to air last year, but had to be postponed due to my busy schedule. Unfortunately Real Women Have Curves has closed.

100th EPISODE!!!!

This week I was joined by the delicious Elizabeth Reiter. We chatted about her early life in Chicago, what it was like performing in opera as a child, serving pants suit realness in Don Giovanni, and the opera of our dreams.

For the season premiere I was joined by the Tony Award winning projection designer Hana S. Kim. We chatted about her introduction to theatre, her introduction to projection design, putting projections on umbrellas, and AI in the workplace.

This week I was joined by the POSITIVE Autumn Hurlbert. We chatted about wearing a mink stole as a child, getting PTSD from The Search For Elle Woods, finally performing as Elle Woods, and the struggles of Tammy Faye.

Note: It wanted to add that any awkward cuts was due to Autumn being a working mom and not due to us (specifically me) being shady.
