And today on this special T.S.F. All of fun episode you get to hear my conversation from episode 108 with my friends Mary Kate Morrissey and Jenna Claire Mason of it.

If you've been around for a while, you know these two are two of my best friends and I know y'all love them to their incredibly talented singers and actresses and Broadway stars who have both starred in wicked on Broadway and used to be on the national tour of wicked together.

If you've never seen wicked, it's basically the back story of the Wizard of Oz. So since Jenna Claire has played Glinda the Good Witch and Mary Kate has played Elphaba.

We lovingly call them the double name witches. That is also the name of the company they run that helps train other people in musical theater. I first met Jenna Claire and Mary Kate when the national tour was coming through Nashville back in April of 2018 and our friendship just clicked immediately.

At the time of this episode, they were still on their national tour and I flew to San Antonio to see them perform together one last time. And they were gracious enough to let me sit down and record with them as well.

As both of their contracts were coming up with the traveling national tour of wicked, it was really important to me to get to sit down and hear what they were processing in that moment and all of the shows we've done.

There are a handful, a small handful that I consider really sacred and this is one of them. I will never forget it. We were in the theater in San Antonio and Jenna Claire's dressing room with one microphone sitting on the floor between us.

It may sound a little different than you're used to, but I am so glad we captured this moment and this moment in time and this moment with God. It is, I'm telling you all this episode is extraordinary. These friends are extraordinary.

So here's my T.S.F. Hall of Fun conversation from October 15, 2018 with Mary Kate Morrissey Blake and Jenna Claire Mason Muffet.

Mary Kate Morrissey, how does it feel to be a guest on what you call my favorite podcast? I'm so thrilled about that. Oh my gosh. I feel so good. It feels like you're right here in front of me like I can see you.

It's really happening now. I know. It's like I hear your voice so much now here you are.

I'm so glad to finally have you on the show because as soon as we fell in love with Jenna Claire, everybody fell in love with you immediately too.
