With this episode we are doing something a little different. Returning guest, Lauren Drake, is taking over hosting duties this time around. All for a good reason too because she recently introduced me to “The Sound Of Music” for my very first watch - ever.

How did I react to the von Trapp family, Maria, the music, the nazis, and the ending? Well, press play and listen to my honest reactions. With Lauren’s expert insights and our deep-dive conversations, we will remind one another, and you listeners, why “The Sound Of Music” has remained a cherished classic.
