Chris the Podcaster explains his departure. 
I am not throwing away my pod. 
Ghost of the future, I fear you more than any apparition I have seen. Here's a link to a playlist I made called CHRISTMAS SONGS THAT ARE NOT INSUFFERABLE: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3rrL44jmDLchJSBDm9Ydmy?si=_hSW1mlxTBS05Q57dSWYjw&pi=u-lDm390XlTPuT&nd=1&dlsi=cef9f413429f4705  
Bear with me.
Better late than never when it comes to Halloween episodes, you're welcome. I can't really remember whether or not this gets dicier than usual, so MAYBE don't listen with children? I don't know. Do whatever you feel is right and happy Thanksgiving, I guess. 
Please enjoy the most scattershot unfocused episode ever which can only be the fault of the international Adderall shortage and a possible shadow conspiracy by Big Pharma to replace my ADD pills with obvious placebos. 
"Alright, I know this is a musical comedy, but I want my life to mean something." A prince from the early Middle Ages and an Australian transfer student from the 50s conspire to teach 1970s America some highly uncomfortable lessons about what it means to compromise.  
Jellicle songs for jellicle pods jellicle songs for jellicle pods jellicle songs for jellicle pods jellicle songs for jellicle pods. Les Miz, at last, we see each other plain. 
Pull up your high-waisted jeans, it's time to cruise from 1978 to 1989 to visit the realm of helicopters and descamisados, an exhausting era defined by belting and bass guitars during which musical theatre asked itself, "what exactly has been going on lately in those funny little countries to the south and east of us?"
Women take some literal and figurative hits in these hit musicals from the so-called Golden Era and here is finally an opinionated cis man to explain it all to you. 
Pray for my soul as I take the first big step on the road to the depths of deg-ra-day. Just don't say I'm damned for all time, baby, this episode is TROUBLE with a capital T and that rhymes with P and that stands for Pod. 
Facing eviction and the aging of Aquarius. 
Let's explore rock operas and jukebox musicals by way of a weird trippy 70s movie musical and what may very well be the worst documentary ever.
The Martyr of Marietta squares off against the Silhouette Sellout. Place your bets!
Do not adjust your smartphone! It's still me, the Sondheim on Adderall guy. I just ran out of Sondheim shows to talk about so I'm pivoting to a new title/concept.  Welcome to I Need You to Like Musicals. I look forward to taking this journey with you. Please disregard everything I say that you find repellent. 
Buckle up, as Mer-L.A. we roll along down Sondset Boulevard and into the George-ous downtown area! We're going to cruise from the Pasadena Playhouse to the Ahmanson Theatre to the Hollywood Bowl, going bum bum bum, bobby baby bobby bubbi all the way. It's time to discuss the many, many Sondheim-related offerings that were available in the City of Angels in 2023!  Here's the album I just released, in case you want to use it to invalidate any of my opinions you disagree with: https://open.spotify.com/album/1DzLW70QYFzNfuSUtC662R?si=VrO52OMjQO2Bt51TsS50jQ And here's the goddamn Sondheim on Adderall playlist one more time: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1OgyPwCw0JSjfe4oXvIeHL?si=782314657a1f4491
A cantankerous deep dive into anthology shows like Side By Side By Sondheim, Putting it Together, and the HBO documentary Six by Sondheim.    Don't forget there's a Sondheim on Adderall playlist! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1OgyPwCw0JSjfe4oXvIeHL?si=e14ae04005364448
"It is my own unwillingness to compromise my principles and kiss ass like some people that I could mention that has cost me the so-called good life which others so freely enjoy."
