Hi, I'm Stage and Stages Lin Manuel Miranda, and you're listening to The Hamilcast.

Butts and cuts and, and boots and... Are you're sitting down? I hope you're sitting down because the Andy Blankenbuler is with me for the next three episodes.

And it's a really big deal.

These episodes have been years in the making and I'm honored to say that with Andy, all four

members of the Hamilton Cabinet have been on this podcast and this is very very

special to me.

I started this journey over four years ago about a show I hadn't seen yet but I loved it enough

just from hearing the music that I taught myself

how to make a podcast so I could talk about it.

Which, I mean, even saying those words out loud is almost too much to take in.

Like what?

And now, over 200 episodes later, I've spoken to dozens and dozens of people, and I've formed

so many lasting friendships with the folks who make Hamilton happen every night.

And even though right now, today, the stages are empty, people are still making things run behind

the scenes for all the cast all over the world.

And I've said it before, but I mean it.

I'm going to keep making this podcast until I've talked to every last one of them.

But for now, get ready to go on a truly wild ride

with Sir Andy Blankenbuler,

the final member of the Hamilton Cabinet

to come hang with me. Hello everyone welcome back to the hamelcast I amian. I'm here with Andy Blakenpuler.

Hey, how are you?
