Brian and Domingos are back after a break from podcasting! Imagine it’s 2015 and you’re going to see this new musical, “Hamilton.” You’re expecting Les Mis or Phantom of the Opera and you get hip-hop and rap. This sucks…or does it? How did your expectations of a musical shape your experience? We discuss this and much more.

We discuss whether it’s all about process or the end goal.

We talk about why we made the crazy decision to get into the music business.
