About the podcast
Minuscule Musical is a show where our hosts have written a short (minuscule) musical where form, structure, and good taste is stretched to its limits and ultimately asks: What is a musical anyway? Each 25-minute episode features Yon (Tripod) and one of his guest collaborators (including Sammy J, Jude Perl and Gillian Cosgriff) performing for the first time (and then discussing) their tiny show in front of a live audience.
