Everything Is Rent

100

Jonathan Larson's groundbreaking musical Rent premiered on Broadway in 1996. Over the years, musical theater fans all over the world have become Rent-heads, Rent-haters, and Rent-indifferent-istas. Comedians (and die-hard Rent fans) Beth Appel and Sarah Claspell shoot without a script as they dedicate each episode to a song from Rent, bringing on fellow comedians and musical theater nerds to talk about what they love, hate, and are baffled by in this divisive musical. Viva La Vie Boheme!

    I love this podcast, I am so happy when there is a random new episode, even if 525,600 minutes between episodes.

    Lets be real, there's been a huge gap in your life since the early 2000's because it has become increasingly in poor taste to talk about RENT. All is healed by this podcast, which is both my favorite and my first ever podcast listening experience.

    Killing it
    These ladies are killing it. The best RENT podcast ever.

    Fun and Quirky
    At first I didn’t know what I thought about this podcast but as the weeks went on it really grew on me! It’s a fun (and sometimes silly) tribute to a really amazing show. I loved the interviews with the OBC and the hosts seem like fun girls I would want to hang out with. I hope it continues to have a life after the cast album is complete.

    Measure your life in Episodes. ❤️
    I started listening to this podcast a long while back and have enjoyed it since. As y’all ask at the beginning of every episode, I started my obsession with RENT when I saw it on television one time and after that I have done a lot of research. I love the OBC of RENT. I originally thought that the Jonathan Larson died of aids, but thanks to this podcast I know he died of an Aneurysm. I did watch Rent Live and thoroughly enjoyed it. My favorite song is Seasons of Love, and my least favorite is Over the Moon. I just got done listening to the episode about Contact with Nicole Byher and I laughed the whole entire episode. 😂 I live by Jonathan’s quote. No Day But Today. Thanks so much.

  • Spencer Cron
    QUEENS
    Love these girlies... literally the funniest podcast i’ve ever listened to.. they kill it every episode 🤪
  • Reelpolitik
    One podcast. Glory.
    Lovers and haters of Rent alike will find something in this one...because any week’s guest could be either. Not sure that makes sense, but neither does the show’s plot...and it’s still wildly successful. And this podcast should be, too. Listen as guests get stuck with Voicemail “songs.” Behold as someone who knows nothing about the show gets one of the best numbers. Tune in for appearances by original cast members! Binge it now. Guaranteed to light your candle.

    Discovering this podcast (via Jordan Morris on JJGo) has been the highlight of my year so far and maybe last year too. What a joyful celebration of everything that was important to my lil 90’s tween heart. When the ladies talked about watching Raul Esparza singing “Being Alive” on a loop while openly weeping at the office, I knew I had found my people. Keep it up, ladies. I can’t wait for some thrilling discussions after Rent Live this week!!

    How do you measure a year? In laughter...
    I literally laugh until there are tears streaming down my face with this podcast! I was excited to stumble upon a podcast devoted to one of my favorite musicals of all time and for it to be funny is the icing on the cake! ❤️

    I’m enjoying it so much I’m writing a review!
    I hate writing reviews but it’s so delightful I decided to write a *nice* review for this podcast. If you like either broadway or I guess you’re an improv nerd (in NYC or LA) you should listen. I think one group is bigger than the other maybe? Anyway they’re fun and Rent is great.
  • EBeth2007
    525,600 reasons to listen!
    I wish I could have found this later so I could have more to listen to. Now I'm all caught up and having to relisten!! So funny, so good, so glad this exists.

    Know your facts
    I just started listening and I have seen the show 20 times over 20 years and I wondering if you are going to do a podcast about the show / movie you get all of your facts straight, but I guess it does not matter. Btw Joanne was played by Tracie Thoms. And I can tell you are fans but you cannot remember simple facts. Frustrating.
  • InstantDeborah
    Such a fun podcast!
    Sarah and Beth are delights! Always looking forward to the next episode!
  • MaryTakesBC
    Nope
    Was so excited to stumble upon this podcast but woof. Not funny. Lame jokes. Episode 3’s guest had the most annoying voice I've ever heard. They make fun of RENT but in a very non-Creative way. I tried so hard to like this but it was cringe worthy, at least they are laughing at themselves. Such a shame.

    Everything is Beth and Sarah!
    The hosts make this wonderful show! Whether you are a musical lover or the occasional (once a year) musical viewer the hosts, Beth and Sarah, make each episode a delightful and funny listen. I might never see Rent on stage but I will continue to listen to this podcast!
