Partial View Podcast

In today's episode, Alex and Danielle get to gush to guest Zach Raffio about how much they love his satire website, The Broadway Beat! They discuss Zach's philosophy and ethical considerations in satire, share some of their favorite past Broadway Beat headlines, and answer the following questions: What makes actor Brian D'Arcy James the perfect uncontroversial satire subject? Does poking fun at David Mamet count as punching up? And how niche is too niche?
