You may know Robbie Rozelle as a performer, a director, a record producer, a graphic designer, a Playbill creative director, or from the liner notes of one of the 300-plus Broadway and cabaret albums he's helped bring to life. However you found him, Robbie's career has been anything but conventional. We talk about growing up gay in a small town, the early days of internet theater fandom, moving to New York at 35 with $300 and a prayer, working alongside legends like Stephen Sondheim and Maury Yeston, and why the best opportunities often come after you stop waiting for permission.

When I first met Ron Popp years ago, he was doing theatre in Chicago. Since then, I've watched him quietly reinvent himself. Ron started doing stand-up comedy in his 40s. Today, just months shy of 50, he's winning comedy competitions, regularly booking gigs, and building a career he never expected.

We talk about growing up gay in small Midwestern towns, finding humor in the experiences that shaped us, and why some of the best comedy comes from years of learning to protect yourself. Along the way, we take a very Gen X detour into the state of musical theatre, missing Broadway divas, and the art of a well-timed comeback.

Katie MacLean-Peters describes herself as a survivor. But in the last decade, her life has truly begun. In this conversation, Katie shares how curiosity, tenacity, therapy, and a healthy dose of whimsy led her to reinvent herself in her 60s, including returning to college to pursue a lifelong dream. We talk about learning Spanish for her cat, the unexpected joy of hiding kindness gnomes for strangers to find, and what happens when you push past the trauma and finally give yourself permission to embrace joy.
