Lin-Manuel Miranda (S05/E02)

Lin-Manuel Miranda dropped into Brisbane (Australia) to talk Hamilton. While he was in town Sean headed along to a press gathering to ask Miranda one question about his approach to songwriting. Lin-Manuel’s answer was so fascinating we thought it deserved its own podcast. If you didn’t already know, Miranda is an American songwriter, actor, singer, filmmaker, rapper, and playwright. He is known for creating the Broadway musicals Hamilton (2015) and In the Heights (2005), and the soundtracks for the animated films Moana (2016), Encanto (2021), and Vivo (2021). His awards include three Tony Awards, three Emmy Awards, five Grammy Awards, two Laurence Olivier Awards, an Annie Award, a MacArthur Fellowship Award, a Kennedy Center Honor, and a Pulitzer Prize.
