Charlene, I’ve been a fan of yours for years. In 2010 or 2011 I traveled to St. Luis to see you with Starkid along with my unsuspecting roommates. They were not at the time singer songwriter fans nor musical theater fans. They hated when I watched glee. They LOVED every minute of the show. From that point forward, they insisted on joining me at every Midwest show we could collectively make it to. We met you in person at the Beat Kitchen in Chicago. You were kind and generous. This podcast echos the way you interact with your audience and fans. It’s real, beautiful and poignant. Side note: I am Irish and my husband is Korean and Vietnamese. We have two children. I’ve loved the frank discussions you’ve had with your guests. I love hearing from people from various backgrounds and life experiences. I appreciate you sharing about your relationship with your mom. It has influenced or made me think more deeply about how I communicate with my kids but especially my daughter.

Love char, love the show. We’re Impatiently waiting for more. -Brit
