• Episode 137: Spring Awakening x The Boy at the Back of the Class x Sunday in the Park with George
    Jun 5 2026

    One of our weirdest show combinations in this episode, as we cover a mid-2010s modern classic about German teenagers in desperate need of PSHE lessons, a cute play about children who are okay for PSHE but perhaps should put Newsround on, and a show which we were, frankly, baffled by and which no amount of PSHE would fix.

  • Episode 136: Mexodus x Schmigadoon!
    May 22 2026

    Since we recorded this, Schmigadoon! has been nominated for a million Tonys, and Mexodus has won a load of off-Broadway awards, but really the validation they've both been waiting for is a rave from us, so everyone can stop holding their breath now. Bonus non-musical content includes a heart-wrenching tale of feline rescue.

  • Episode 133: Buena Vista Social Club x Maybe Happy Ending x Ragtime
    Apr 24 2026

    We went back to Broadway, baby! And here is the first of our round-ups of the shows we saw when we were there, covering two shows that were new to us and one previous favourite, along with understudy slip-related misunderstandings, dopplegangers and Katy finally snapping and shh-ing people (not Juno, on this occasion).

  • Episode 132: The Secret Garden
    Apr 17 2026

    Today's musical theatre nonsense comes via a trip to York for the new production of 'The Secret Garden,' based on a book which Katy definitely read as a child but, of which, apparently has no recollection whatsoever.

  • Episode 131: Tina
    Apr 10 2026

    In this episode, we ask the really big questions that other podcasts are too scared to discuss. Does all great art come from suffering? Should we cling onto childhood for longer? And, most crucially, do we all have an LNER puppet in the back of our head? Oh, and we also talk about 'Tina', the Tina Turner bio-musical a little bit.

    If you have a dog called Otis/are a person called Otis, this one's for you.

  • Episode 130: Drama Club
    Apr 3 2026

    So, the chances that anyone at all knows what we're on about in this episode are tiny but as that's probably the case half the time anyway, we'll carry on. If you don't know, Drama Club was an iconic Nickelodeon show, cut off in its prime, never to be seen again, featuring the funniest writing kids' TV has ever seen (probably). If you aren't desperately searching the dark web for it by the end of this episode, we've failed.
