That Classical Podcast

Show Notes

IF YOU'VE EVER WONDERED HOW A PIZZA CAN BE MADE INTO MUSIC, TODAY'S YOUR LUCKY DAY. Come one, come all, it's time for another dive into the twiddly Baroque waters to find more misshapen weird pearls to give to our friends we don't like. This episode we lament castrati, discuss luxury orphanages, and Kelly finally tells a joke she's been saving since May 2016. Enjoy!
