May 12, 2020 Bonus - Crossover Interview with Call Me Adam
Bonus Episode: This episode is part of a conversation I had with fellow Broadway Podcast Network host Adam Rothenberg. Adam is the host of Baring it All With Call Me Adam which is a different kind of interview as he asks the heartfelt and fun questions most other podcasts don't. Adam also hates CATS. I hopped in the hot seat with Adam and then asked him his thoughts on Grizabella and the Heaviside Layer. Here is a snapshot of our conversation.
