S2. Ep07. Old Friends, the Arts and a Global Freakin' Pandemic (Oh My!) Part II
Welcome back for Part 2 of our discussion with with American soprano Anita Lyons, Jazz vocalist Rachel Caswell and podcast regular Matt Fisher. We pick right back where we left off talking about how (or if) the arts are going to come back to life after being shut down during the pandemic. We also talk about why September is the magical month for reopening Broadway (and other arts venues) and what it's like dating "Show Biz".  Like I say in the into, you're gonna want to hear how this all plays out. Enjoy!

S2. Ep06. Old Friends, the Arts and a Global Freakin' Pandemic (Oh My!)
This past year has been rough (We know, we know, "Thank You Captain Obvious!") but for the performing arts, it has been especially rough as the lifeblood for actors, singers and any live performer was the one thing we were told to avoid...live audiences. Today is Part One of a Two Part discussion with American soprano Anita Lyons, Jazz vocalist Rachel Caswell and podcast regular Matt Fisher as we "talk shop" and give our thoughts about how the pandemic has, is and will be affecting different areas of that thing we call "Show Biz"

Ep 10: Happy Holidays! (Last Show Of Series/Season 1)
Hello everyone and welcome to our last episode of 2020!   This also the last episode of Series/Season One!  We'll be taking a little time to rest up after launching our podcast during a (we hope) once in a lifetime global pandemic. We've learned a lot and will be back for Series/Season 2 before you know it. Until then, we thought we'd wrap things up by talking about the end of The Mandalorian Season 2, how to get through 50+ Hallmark/Lifetime Christmas movies and play "It Is/Isn't a Christmas Movie". Enjoy!
