✋ Raise your hand if you are fully ready for an Andy Blankenbuehler–choreographed production of Warriors.

Andy’s two episodes are now live as we officially kick off the grand finale of The Hamilcast.

Safe to say this is already off to an absolutely epic start—and we’re just getting warmed up.

THE CABINET.

This week we kicked off our official finale of The Hamilcast. After ten years, to welcome back The Cabinet to properly celebrate this send off feels extraordinary.

Thank you too all of our who have expressed excitement and celebration this past week! It means so much!

10 years later, Leslie Odom, Jr. triumphantly returned to Hamilton. And even though he’s playing Burr with more frustration this time around,  he promises – promises! – that every single night he’s trying his very best not to kill Alexander at the end of this thing.

It feels very fitting that after ten years and dozens of Burrs, the final one to sit with me is the inimitable original himself: Leslie Odom, Jr. We didn’t have a long time… but oh, we had a *great* time.

You don’t want to miss this! 🌟

Keeping in the throwback spirit!

The 2020 Broadway cast of Hamilton at the Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade. At the time, Broadway remained shut down but these actors made magic for folks at home.

Time for another throwback! 🌟

The truly effervescent Mandy Gonzalez came on the podcast in 2017 and gave new meaning to “I’m about to change your life.” It was so important that she came on the show because, duh, she is THEEEEEEEE Mandy Gonzalez. 🌟

As The Hamilcast starts to wrap up, I couldn’t end this thing without jumping on the mic with Michael Paul Smith and making a podcast love letter to every listener, guest, Patreon Peep, and cool experience from these last ten years.

This week, I welcome Renée Elise Goldsberry to the pod and I will never be over what a generous and inspiring conversation we had!

We cover— literally— it all! But, here Renée shares the inspiration behind her recent documentary Satisfied.

Renée Elise Goldsberry is on the pod and yeah no there are no typos detected this actually happened! (WHAT!!??)

We covered so much ground and I am still in awe of what a warm, generous, honest, and thoughtful person Renée is.

As if having Jennifer Simard on the pod for two (!!) episodes wasn’t enough— we also get mic drop lessons on art and what it means to step into the shoes of some iconic characters.

“I have nothing to prove, only to share”. 🌟

Thank you for sharing with us, Jenn!

Daniel Pollack-Pelzner is an award winning author, educator, and bonafide fan of culture, Shakespeare, musicals, and artists. His new book, Lin-Manuel Miranda: The Education of an Artist, is part biography, part deep dive, and part oral history.

Having the incredible Tyler McKenzie on the pod these past 3 wks inspired a serious case of nostalgia!

From 2017 to VEGAS for my first ever group recording with the Philip Company— as I look back on almost a decade of The Hamilcast, it continues to be an embarrassment of riches and core memories!
September 19, 2025 at 6:22 PM
This week wraps up an epic 3 part conversation, welcoming back, Tyler McKenzie to the pod! What an absolute joy to catch up and reflect on 8 incredible years with Hamilton— especially as Philip, Tyler’s home, came to a close.

Thank you Tyler for coming back and so generously sharing with all of us!
