Reunited and feels so good! I talk with one of the most impactful people on my life, Jacquie Engel, who directed almost all of the major shows I did when I was growing up back in good 'ol Lycoming County. We talk about our first impressions, working together, that period of time when I was "straight", and so much more! Keeping the arts alive in schools is so important, especially in the hands of people like her. Who else would see potential in a kid in 7th grader who auditioned for Annie with All That Jazz from Chicago, with choreography, and cast him as Daddy Warbucks (with Annie being played by a senior...)? Listen to our podcast, and then make sure you continue supporting arts education programs in schools!

Join us on the drunker side, with Part 2 of the Barbie episode, where we get into things like the idea of the patriarchy, feminism, discovering the value in self-worth, and much more importantly, which Barbie and Ken both Kait and I think we are. Stick with this one, as its worth it, but you can tell we've gone slightly over our martini threshold 😂
