Episode #19: Broadway Star and My BFF...ARBENDER ROBINSON!

Welcome to Episode #19! Today my guest is Broadway veteran, Arbender Robinson. Arbender is a TRUE triple-threat and his IBDB page will back that up. He made his Broadway debut in Hairspray and other notable productions include: The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Hair, Ragtime, The Book of Mormon, Les Miserables, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, and Shuffle Along. On top of being a brilliant artist, he is one of Landyn's closest friends...so it's an EXTRA special interview. Plus, as you may know, Season 3 of TRAITORS just ended. Therefore, we had to cover it all in a new installment of "Traitor Talk." There will be SPOILERS...so if you haven't watched the finale, be warned. Landyn also sings the praises of TikTok and does some special "shout outs" to some new friends. All of this and so much more on an all-new episode of NO FUCKS LEFT!   MOVIE CLIP: BEST IN SHOW - "Busy Bee" Scene   Arbender Robinson IBDB Page: IBDB Page Link Arbender Robinson Website: Website Link   ARBENDER ROBINSON BIO...
