  • Episode 1.1: Speech in Drag and Other Philosophical Foundations ft. Brandon Absher

    Episode 1.1: Speech in Drag and Other Philosophical Foundations ft. Brandon Absher
    2024/07/14
    For episode one, I invited Brandon to grill me on why I’m doing a podcast about this topic. This also sets a few seeds in motion for future episodes and hopefully inspires you all to think about television and musicals a little differently already. We get into consumer culture, philosophy, and I may have even coined a new phrase - “speech in drag.” Check out Brandon’s recent book, “The Rise of Neoliberal Philosophy: Human Capital, Profitable Knowledge, and the Love of Wisdom” here - https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781793616005/The-Rise-of-Neoliberal-Philosophy-Human-Capital-Profitable-Knowledge-and-the-Love-of-Wisdom Marshall McLuhan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Understanding_Media Anahid Kassabian - https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520275164/ubiquitous-listening “Oz and the Musical” - Ryan Bunch - https://academic.oup.com/book/44854 Media Referenced “Once More, With Feeling” - Buffy the Vampire Slayer “2 Girls, 1 Tongue” - Todd and the Book of Pure Evil “Brigadoom” - Lexx “Song Beneath a Song” - Grey’s Anatomy “My Musical” - Scrubs “The Bitter Suite” - Xena: Warrior Princess “Lyre, Lyre, Hearts on Fire” - Xena Warrior Princess “Subspace Rhapsody” - Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

  • Episode 1.2: "Once More, With Feeling" and a Kazoo Solo ft. Shoshana Greenberg

    Episode 1.2: "Once More, With Feeling" and a Kazoo Solo ft. Shoshana Greenberg
    2024/07/21
    This is one of many episodes that will focus on “Once More, With Feeling” from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Shoshana Greenberg joins me to analyze how the episode fits within musical theater conventions, what does and doesn’t work, and the short-lived sing-along events (that we’d love to see return!). Shoshana is the host of the podcast “Scene to Song” which analyzes musical theater as literature. As a creator of musical theater, as well as a journalist and critic, Shoshana’s episodes examine a wide range of topics and bring in great guests like Michael R. Jackson (“A Strange Loop”) and Dr. Ashley Pribyl. I, also, happen to have been a guest - but I’ll let you determine if I’m a great one or not.

    Episode 1.3: What's at Stake? Why Buffy Continues to Matter ft. Sabrina Boyer
    2024/08/03
    Buffy matters - if anything, the series solidified the serial TV musical episode. But it also did so much for TV with its experimental storytelling and ahead-of-its-time genre-bending. Dr. Sabrina Boyer and I discuss these things, personal connections to Buffy, and a little bit about Buffy Studies. “Fighting the Forces: What’s at Stake in Buffy the Vampire Slayer” - Edited by Rhonda Wilcox and David Lavery - https://rowman.com/ISBN/9780742516816/Fighting-the-Forces-Whats-at-Stake-in-Buffy-the-Vampire-Slayer “Why Buffy Matters: The Art of Buffy the Vampire Slayer” - Rhonda Wilcox, https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/why-buffy-matters-9780857717917/ “Why are Americans Afraid of Dragons?” - Ursula K LeGuin https://w3.ric.edu/faculty/rpotter/temp/waaaod.pdf “Slayer Slang: A Buffy the Vampire Slayer Lexicon” - Michael Adams https://academic.oup.com/book/48386?login=false “The Body” - Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 5, Ep 16 “Lie to Me” - Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 2, Ep 7 “The Weight of the World” - Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 5, Ep 21 “Chosen” - Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 7, Ep 22

  • Episode 1.4: "My Musical" from Scrubs: Healthcare Advocacy and Poo ft Andy Havington

    Episode 1.4: "My Musical" from Scrubs: Healthcare Advocacy and Poo ft Andy Havington
    2024/08/18
    In today’s conversation, we are focused on “My Musical” from Season 6 of Scrubs. “My Musical” is one of those episodes that bubbles up to the top when people make their top 10 lists of musical television episodes. It also brings in a lot of the dynamics of the series, something I got to learn about through my conversation with my guest Andy Havington. Andy and I have taught together and our discussion goes some interesting places - in particular, how the episode bucks medical show trends by having the patient be the central character (everything is seen and heard through her eyes and ears) and the struggle she has in advocating for her own healthcare. Don’t worry, we also talk about guy love and poo - it’s not all so serious. Wheel of Morality says: Remember to advocate for yourself in healthcare and find providers that listen and collaborate with you.

  • Episode 1.5: "Summer" from A Year in the Life: Lorelai Gawks in Disgust for 20 Minutes ft Jackie Havington

    Episode 1.5: "Summer" from A Year in the Life: Lorelai Gawks in Disgust for 20 Minutes ft Jackie Havington
    2024/09/01
    This episode we start with a discussion about the musical sequence in “Summer” from A Year in the Life - the Gilmore Girls sequel series. For about 20 minutes, we get to watch Lorelai watch a Stars Hollow musical and look disgusted the entire time. It’s really quite… an experience. My guest for this episode is a good friend, Jackie Havington. Her husband actually was in the previous episode about the Scrubs musical! Jackie and I have taught music together at a summer camp, which is probably one of the most stressful and rewarding things you can do. And transformative - summer camps are a great way to grow a lot in only a summer, even if you are the counselor! Our conversation then goes into more about the feeling of ‘being trapped in a musical’ and how that applies to a lot of TV Musical intersections like Schmigadoon and Lexx. We then, as music teachers do, we start talking about teaching and how social pressures on audience members affect if and when we give a standing ovation, what that means, and how special it is to teach young people and support them in their musical journey. I have really been enjoying these conversations, but not only do we analyze aspects of TV and musicals, but also how they relate to so many other aspects of our lives. I hope you have been too. If you want to chat, please email me or comment on the podcast’s social media. And yes, buy my fruit!
