Podcast: Once More, With Feeling Podcast: When TV Breaks into Song
Episode: Episode 1.1: Speech in Drag and Other Philosophical Foundations ft. Brandon Absher
Pub date: 2024-07-14

For episode one, I invited Brandon to grill me on why I’m doing a podcast about this topic. This also sets a few seeds in motion for future episodes and hopefully inspires you all to think about television and musicals a little differently already. We get into consumer culture, philosophy, and I may have even coined a new phrase - “speech in drag.”Check out Brandon’s recent book, “The Rise of Neoliberal Philosophy: Human Capital, Profitable Knowledge, and the Love of Wisdom” here - https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781793616005/The-Rise-of-Neoliberal-Philosophy-Human-Capital-Profitable-Knowledge-and-the-Love-of-WisdomMarshall McLuhan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Understanding_MediaAnahid Kassabian - https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520275164/ubiquitous-listening“Oz and the Musical” - Ryan Bunch - https://academic.oup.com/book/44854Media Referenced“Once More, With Feeling” - Buffy the Vampire Slayer“2 Girls, 1 Tongue” - Todd and the Book of Pure Evil“Brigadoom” - Lexx“Song Beneath a Song” - Grey’s Anatomy“My Musical” - Scrubs“The Bitter Suite” - Xena: Warrior Princess“Lyre, Lyre, Hearts on Fire” - Xena Warrior Princess“Subspace Rhapsody” - Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
