37. South Pacific

<p>This week Mackenzie, Autumn, and friend of the podcast Lynn Slotkin continue their exploration of the Rodgers and Hammerstein canon as they travel to Bali Ha'i to discuss the wartime musical South Pacific! Hear this trio discuss why this character of Nellie Forbush far more complex and isn't simply a character battling her internalized racial prejudice. They praise and explore the most critiqued song of the show You've Got to Be Carefully Taught and how it was both a timely and unfortunately timeless message about racism. Then discover what iconic song from the musical made Autumn's cut or skip list.</p> <p>All of this plus a cockeyed optimist and some enchanted evening on this Friday's all new episode of the podcast!</p> <p>Don't forget to leave us a review and share your thoughts on this episode on our social media pages.
