    Thank you so much Lin Manuel!
    Hamilton has inspired me to start doing so many things!! Upon listening to the soundtrack, I started writing music and also a historical fiction novel about the revolutionary war. My friends and I are so thankful for all of your work and Hamiltons story really stood out to me in many ways, almost too many to count. When I saw In The Heights, the culture stood out to me the most. I am not Mexican or Latino, I am actually of Swedish descent, and the movie and also the original Broadway cast recording inspired me to learn more about different cultures. I love how the community in Washington Heights works together and loves each other like a big family!! As a fourteen year old with six siblings it has taught me to work better with my brothers and sister. I have a random fan question too- Will Hamilton have a movie made? Broadway forever! (I have never been to a Broadway show! 😱😂) lol thanks!

    Let the guests talk
    This was difficult to listen to because Eva kept interjecting herself instead of letting the guests talk. She needs to understand that she was not the subject of the interview this time. Her fangirling started getting to be too much. A regular interviewer would have been a better choice here. But it was wonderful to hear the behind the scenes from Lin-Manuel and Quiara.

    Great podcast!
    Awesome to hear the different latin artist who made a play to show case a neighborhood. This drove a change in our culture. That is what makes America a magical place to be! A land created by all the people of the world so we can all live in Harmony and be free! Well that’s the hopeful message anyways!

    I couldn’t
    I wanted to listen to this podcast all the way through but Eva was annoying and she grated on my nerves so much that I had to stop. Too bad since I’m sure this film will be great and I already love the soundtrack.
