Summary
This Sunday, the Unofficial Bridgerton Musical took home a Grammy. But how was it allowed to compete in the first place? On the show today, Rachelle is joined by our producer, Daniel, to discuss why the Grammys have become so internet-focused, and how the Bridgerton musical sprang from TikTok. Then, Rachelle speaks with University of Colorado law professor Kristelia Garcia about the legal issues that the musical’s creators might need to resolve after their win, and if Netflix can now call Bridgerton a Grammy-award-winning series.
Podcast production by Daniel Schroeder.

| 0:13.4 | Hi, I'm Rachel Hampton. |
| 0:15.1 | And I'm Daniel Schrader sitting in for Madison Malone Kircher. |
