EMERGENCY POD: REMEMBERING STEPHEN SONDHEIM (feat. Graham Techler)
One week ago, the world lost the greatest musical theater composer of all time. This week, we brought in Graham Techler (The New Yorker, Tooning out the News) to record an episode about Stephen Sondheim’s life and legacy. What started out with sharing favorite shows and tunes turned into a broader conversation about art, commerce, and the paradox of attempting to create work that can inspire and endure in a hopeless world. Everybody rise.

Saved this episode to listen to because it’s totally in my wheelhouse today is the anniversary of his death. I enjoyed hearing from like-minded people The part about the three notes from merrily we roll along was absolutely amazing. Also, the stories of you guys meeting him are crazy and hilarious. I wouldn’t have the guts to walk up to him, and definitely not to quote his own work in front of him but I’m so glad he laughed at that. Wow!
