The last time we spoke with Alyssa Joy Fox was just a few weeks before it was announced that she would be leading the Broadway company of Wicked for its 20th anniversary.

Plus, Kevin and Quincy are here to talk (and maybe scream) about the entire 20th Anniversary cast.- - - - -Looking for a way to support the pod?

Our favorite voice nerd, Emily Kristen Morris, is sitting down for a chat with the boys this week.
