Nothing Like Broadway: The Podcast

We pick one musical theater song, and then we pick it apart to figure out how it works in the context of the show. How do the music, lyrics, character, and story all flow from one amazing song to become something more than the sum of its parts? Host writer/composer David Rackoff does his best to explain it all.

I'm Still Here (from Follies)

February 18, 2025 • David Rackoff • Season 2 • Episode 9

One of the best songs in any genre in the history of the world ever. Host writer/composer David Rackoff uncovers what makes this song so spectacular. You will have heebie-jeebies for Beebe's Bathysphere. (And you'll find out what all of the crazy references mean!) Stephen Sondheim outdoes himself on this powerful showstopper.

Suggest a song to break down, or just let us know what's on your mind.
