play

07/02/19 • 61 min

In this episode of There are Lots of Things, April and Maddie discuss the cultural phenomenon (or phenome-NOT?) Hamilton: An American Musical. NOTE: you do NOT need to be familiar with Hamilton, neither The American Musical nor the historical figure to enjoy this episode. Maddie wasn’t. She still isn’t.
April did a Master’s Degree in American History Dissertation-level of research, so in this episode prepare to enjoy: some fun facts about the musical’s production and reception; a plethora of interesting tidbits about the historical context for the show; some interesting factoids about Hamilton the human being; and April’s personal take on whether or not the show is even worth your time. You may be wondering “are there spoilers?” Short answer: “no.” Long answer: “IDK, can you spoil history?”
Also on the table for discussion: Peggy Schuyler’s harrowing axe encounter; wretched, selfish theater guests who sing along with the show; discovering what Hamilton characters we are, and so much more!

In this episode of There are Lots of Things, April and Maddie discuss what Buzzfeed deems "15 Kitchen Skills to Master by the Time You're Thirty," which is, we realize, a very specific and seemingly arbitrary number of kitchen skills. Buzzfeed has a lot on their plate right now so we'll give them a pass. (A lot on their plate, get it? Plates.)

Also on the table for discussion: Maddie and April almost break up over pasta water, April describes how she makes special cupcakes for her friends, and Maddie pulls you onto her knee for kitchen mishap story time.
