Hamilton 101 with Part of Our World Podcast

This week, we're celebrating the upcoming release of Hamilton: An American Musical on Disney+. We welcomed aboard our wonderful friends, Keenan & Rachael, from Part of Our World Podcast for the first of our crossover episodes discussing the smash-hit musical. We start, on our show, with a little class of Hamilton 101, to help introduce you to this cultural phenomenon. We get you started with the basic, and mostly spoiler-free, information you'll want to know for your first viewing of Lin-Manuel Miranda's masterpiece.
