Jim and Freddie are back, with an update on Red Eye Radio and where they're recording the pod now. Also, Jim has major personal news: he's a millennial!? He and Freddie lament that Southwest cancelled their chance to chat with the legendary Jimmy James, who was supposed to perform at Red Eye last week.
Enter another legendary guest: Broadway and nightlife's Michelle Dowdy (aka Freddie's co-worker)! The delightful Michelle shares details about her fascinating audition for and memorable run as Tracy Turnblad in Hairspray: The Musical... she was only 18 when that happened! Michelle also discusses her current weekly show at The Spot, her time at The Q, the highs and lows of musical theater life pre- and post-Covid, backstage tea, being born a Dallas Ham, Snow Day versus Snow Dogs, working with Ben Cameron & Marti Cummings, and who she might anecdotally push down a well.
