NOW WE'RE TALKING with Drew Gasparini

Broadway Podcast Network•broadwaypodcastnetwork.com

Broadway composer Drew Gasparini has a lot of friends in show business. Sure, he knows what their resume looks like, and what their professional accolades are, but other than that, he doesn’t know shit about them. “Now We’re Talking” is a podcast where Drew invites his show biz friends to discuss things about them you can’t find on Google. There will be a new episode every week, and each episode will feature a different guest from Broadway legends to TV icons.

Ep 9 - Brittany Hölljes: "You're A Little Gray Fox Having Coffee in a Little Tweed Hat"

Brittany Holljes, one of the driving forces behind the band Delta Rae stops by the podcast for a deep dive conversation! This one is particularly special to me because Brittany and the other band members of Delta Rae all grew up together! I’m sure our listeners know that Brittany and her band Delta Rae have a massive following, but I bet you didn’t know that we were in an a cappella group when we were kids! Sure, it’s old news that she was listed as one of Rolling Stone’s “women who rock” but di...

Ep 8 - Bonnie Milligan: "Supple Awnings"

Bonnie Milligan and I simply don’t trust the Disney character Aladdin. And BOY do we make sure to talk about it. Bonnie, of course, is known for her work on stage in musicals such as Kinky Boots, and Jasper In Deadland, but did you know that she was raised in a doublewide trailer? Bonnie made huge waves on Broadway originating the role of Pamela in the musical Head Over Heels, but I can almost guarantee that you didn’t know that she is an expert sandwich orderer! This was one of my favorite epis...

Ep 7 - Justin Guarini: "Do You Still Have a Myspace?"

It’s a scientific fact that Justin Guarini’s voice can get women AND men pregnant. Frankly, I’m sickened by the man’s talent and kindness. I mean it’s no secret that the man became a household name during American Idol’s first season as one of the two finalists alongside Kelly Clarkson, but did you know that his mother was a News reporter!? He has had perpetual success from TV to the Broadway stage and even becoming the long running spokesperson for Diet Dr. Pepper, but did you know that he turn...

Ep 6 - Amber Ardolino: "I Think That's How I'm Going to Thirst Trap"

As if we needed more reasons to love Amber Ardolino! Turns out she’s not only talented, beautiful, successful, and kind- SHE’S AN INTERIOR DECORATOR TOO! It’s like, enough already! We get it. You’re rad. And our conversation only cemented that fact. It’s like, sure, you were on Broadway right out of the gate in teensy weensy shows like Head Over Heels, and Moulin Rouge, but why is no one talking about you have dreams of one day having a job where she can one day get day-drunk! Also, okay, YES, A...

Ep 5 - Marc Summers: "Old Jews Yelling About Show Business"

Iconic TV host Marc Summers is HUNG LIKE A MOOSE …At least that’s the rumor we are starting here on this podcast! Marc Summers! Legendary show business fixture! We all know the man from his tenure at Nickelodeon as the host for “Double Dare,” and “What Would You Do?” - but did you know that he started out as a f***ing magician! We ALL know that he was host of the food network’s long-running flagship show, “Unwrapped,” but did you know he was also a stand up comedian and performed alongside the l...

Ep 4 - Lilli Cooper: "I Just Want To Say on Record: Go Fuck Yourself Jonathan Groff"

Ladies and gentleman! Lilli F***ing Cooper is in the house! HOW EXCITING! Sure, it’s a thrill because she’s a Tony nominee for her work in Tootsie the musical on Broadway, but did you know that she loves Dexter’s Laboratory? I’m excited AF she’s here! Sure she played Sandy Squirrel in Spongebob on Broadway, but did you know that she was CYBER BULLIED in middle school??? Jesus! We all know that she was in the original cast of Spring Awakening, but did any of you know that she played multiple role...

Ep 3 - Colton Ryan: "Try The Veal!"

I get it. Colton Ryan is the next big thing, what with his appearances on Broadway in musicals like Dear Evan Hansen and Girl From the North Country. But can you even comprehend how cool it is that he learned his face moisturizing routine from a TikTok video?? Like, guys, I KNOW Colton is the star of Sara Bareilles’ Apple+ series, Little Voice, buuuut, did you know that Colton knows a shit load about looking for real estate??? Like, I truly am thrilled that he’s done all of this (including playi...

Ep 2 - Kathryn Gallagher: "So Bob Fosse Called"

It’s pretty clear that Kathryn Gallagher has an amazing start to an amazing career from appearing in the Broadway revival of Spring Awakening to her work on the Netflix thriller You. But did you know that she comes from a long line of artists and bacteriologist (whatever the hell that means!)? We are alllll excited that her work in Jagged Little Pill has earned her both Tony and Grammy nominations, but did you know that her dad Peter Gallagher was full on DISSED by Bob Fosse? I’m thrilled I was ...

Ep 1 - Alex Brightman: "A House With an Ass On It"

We alllllll love Alex Brightman for the work he’s done in the industry. And yes, we toooootally get that he’s a two-time Tony Nominee for his roles in School of Rock and Beetlejuice on Broadway. But I bet you didn’t know where he grew up, or that his parents had to sit him down for some VERY blunt advice at a young age. Of course we love Alex for his work leading up to his Tony nominations in shows like Matilda and Wicked , but did you know that Alex Brightman and I spent 3 days together traveli...
