ReWIND - Kay Hanley (Letters to Cleo) Talks Star Trek's Musical Episode, Disney's Kindergarten & an Emmy with Lin-Manuel Miranda | Joey's Song Podcast

She wrote songs for a Star Trek musical, won an Emmy for a Disney/Obama-produced reboot of Schoolhouse Rock, and just watched her new animated series premiere on Disney Junior — and none of that is even the reason this conversation matters. In this ReWIND revisit, host Mike Gomoll sits down with Letters to Cleo frontwoman Kay Hanley to talk about how a random Instagram comment turned into one of the most meaningful relationships in Joey's Song history. Kay opens up about her daughter Zoe's epilepsy diagnosis, the isolation that comes with a doctor who won't even say the word "epilepsy" out loud, and the first Joey's Song weekend that changed everything for her family. Also in this one: writing the lyrics for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' history-making musical episode (and surviving the Trekkie fandom to tell about it), 15 years of scoring Disney shows, sharing an Emmy with Brandi Carlile and Lin-Manuel Miranda, and talks about playing with the Know-it-All Girlfriends at Joey's Song. It's a conversation about music, chosen family, and why finding "your people" can change everything — funny, honest, and a little chaotic in the best way. #JoeysSong #EpilepsyAwareness #KayHanley #LettersToCleo #FreezingMan #Podcast To learn more about Joey's Song, please go to www.joeyssong.org and join our community through our mailing list.
