Irving Berlin and Broadway's Double Songs, part 1

Irving Berlin and Broadway's Double Songs, part 1

Welcome to Season Four!

Broadway Nation is back with a new season of all-new episodes that will take you deep inside the history of the Broadway musical with a special emphasis on the Immigrant Jewish, Queer, and Black artists who invented it.

I have a fantastic slate of guests and topics lined up over the coming weeks and months, and today we kick it all off with the return of my frequent co-host and partner in crime, Albert Evans, and the first in a series of episodes exploring the Double Songs of Broadway.

These show-stopping musical stunts span the entire history of the Broadway musical and have been utilized by many of the greatest songwriters, from Irving Berlin to Meredith Willson to Jerry Herman to Sondheim, Schwartz, and Miranda.

Become A PATRON of Broadway Nation!

This episode is made possible in part by the generous support of our Patron Club Members, including our newest patron, PAULA & STEVE REYNOLDS.

If you are a fan of Broadway Nation, I invite you to become a PATRON! For as little as $7.00 a month, you can receive exclusive access to never-before-heard, unedited versions of many of the discussions that I have with my guests — in fact, I often record nearly twice as much conversation as ends up in the edited versions. You will also have access to additional, in-depth conversations with my frequent co-host, Albert Evans, that have not been featured on the podcast. And all patrons receive special “on-air” shout-outs and acknowledgement of your vital support of this podcast.
