Came across this random podcast on Apple Music - it's a weird concept that in theory sounds like it wouldn't work - two young guys commenting on mostly old productions based on bootleg recordings. However, having listened to the podcast on the Bernadette Gypsy and the LuPone Gypsy I must admit I found it highly entertaining and liked hearing the semi-detailed discussions of these productions from a fresh perspective. Detailed enough that it feels like they were sitting right in the audience...while I don't think they ALWAYS get the details right they are clearly passionate about what they are talking about and have some interesting perspectives, plus seem a bit fun/catty and don't take themselves so seriously.

I subscribe to far too many musicals podcasts, including Too Many Musicals, but this is a good one. I’m very far behind since I always watch the video before listening to the episode.
