Hamilton + Podcasts
Apr. 22nd, 2016 01:48 pmI adore Hamilton and I adore podcasts, so... recs!!!
1) Hamilton the podcast - a whole podcast devoted to deconstructing Hamilton song by song, talking about background, context and musicality. So far the podcast has just finished Act 1 (in 9 episodes).
2) The Lightbulb - episode 62 - Storywonk - A pop culture podcast by a husband and wife team, they focus on narrative and storytelling.
Episode Summary: This week, we’re not throwing away our shot to take a break and talk non-stop about Hamilton as a story, as musical theater, and as an important cultural artifact.
3) NPR Pop Culture Happy Hour - with special guest Gene Demby from NPR's Code switch. Also, these lucky people have actually seen the musical.
4) More NPR - the first part has an interview with Leslie Odom Jr (Aaron Burr)
5) Another Round - 14 Things You Never Knew About Hamilton's Lin-Manuel Miranda
Episode Summary: Lin-Manuel Miranda, the genius behind the hit musicals Hamilton and In The Heights, told BuzzFeed's Another Round podcast about his childhood, making hip-hop mixtapes for Stephen Sondheim, and the time Kimye showed up to the theater.
Anyone have other recs for me? More podcasts with episodes about Hamilton, episodes with interviews with cast, etc.
