The Next Stop Is... with Jane August
New York City is full of a multitude of different neighborhoods, industries, and worlds that we probably never even thought about.
While traveling the five boroughs on the quest to visit every museum in New York City, content creator Jane August has crossed paths with tastemakers and experts from various fields from architecture to restaurants to maritime to nightlife.
On the new podcast, “The Next Stop Is...”, Jane is pulling back the curtain on some of the most fascinating industries and people in New York City and beyond, interviewing local legends and creative up-and-comers. There are endless things to do, see, and learn in the city. Sometimes you just have to miss your stop to find them.
The Next Stop Is... with Jane August
Writing Theatre History with Jennifer Ashley Tepper
This is one of those dream guests episodes. As I conceived this podcast, I made a list of New Yorkers I would love to have on the podcast and up there was Jennifer Ashley Tepper.
Jennifer is a multi-hyphenate theatre extraordinaire. She is the Creative and Programming Director at 54 Below, the author of Women Writing Musicals: The Legacy that the History Left Out and The Untold Stories of Broadway book series, and the conceiver of The Jonathan Larson Project. And that’s not even all of it.
I’ve admired Jennifer and her work for a long time and it was a lot of fun talking about documenting New York and theatre history, preserving Jonathan Larson’s legacy, and the overall joy of being excited about things.

The Jonathan Larson Project starts performances on February 14, 2025, for a limited engagement at The Orpheum Theatre. Get tickets at thejonathanlarsonproject.com
