Why Don't I Like Musicals?

from Why Are We Like This? Hosted by FisherCast

What started as a conversation about why Jarrod doesn't enjoy musicals quickly became something much bigger. From Grease 2 and Book of Mormon to Death Becomes Her, drag, comedy, and storytelling, we explore why some art feels authentic while other art feels performative. Along the way we discuss nostalgia, originality, stereotypes, cancel culture, and why the best conversations aren't about changing minds—they're about expanding them. This isn't really an episode about musicals. It's an episode about honesty. Stay Curious. Send us a quick "Fan Voice Mail" with this link!
