Episode 115 - MBSing with Brendan Dowling - Mysteries

Brendan Dowling stopped by MBSing to weave tales of mystery and intrigue. We covered the books, television, and film he grew up with and continues to enjoy all in the vein of whodunits (The Westing Game, Marple, and Clue, to name a few), and I love the insight into what draws him to the genre and how it feeds into his life as a performer. Some personal highlights include that Brendan knows he's immediately interested in something if it's set at a boarding school, that he developed a love for a PBS Masterpiece series at an age that has to have been decades younger than its target audience, and that he enjoys falling down YouTube rabbit holes of a single song from the musical Hairspray even though he's never seen anything else from the show.
