TNE Speakeasy: Bonus #108 (Hadestown & The Marvels ft. Isaac & Caleb)

Spring has arrived (extremely) early here at the TNE archives and our interns have been hard at work digging around the dusty bins and cockroach infested files (we need Isaac to get out his gloves and cleaning mask again!). And for the first release they've put together, we go back all the way to November 2023, as Isaac interviews Caleb on his recent trip to the Queen Elizabeth theater in Downtown Vancouver, to see the Broadway Across Canada production of Hadestown. Then after that, Caleb follows that up by discussing his (then) recent viewing of The Marvels.
