Show Notes

Thought you'd learned enough about this hidden gem? Think again! We (Wyatt, Christina & Joey (@whenuwishuponapodcast)) have another two hours of information, laughs and surprises. And don't worry, we haven't forgotten the other half of the brand; this is the "queer" side of the coin.

*Side Note* The Roger Edens anecdote is accurate, but it was attributed to the wrong movie. The anecdote derived from him observing sneak previews of 1939's
Babes in Arms, not 1941's Babes on Broadway.

You can find the show @
disreeltoreelpodcast and host Wyatt @goldenafternoon51 on Instagram!
