EP. 17 — John Tesh: Hamilton, Nine Times Over
Award-winning musician and radio host John Tesh has certainly earned the title of Hamilton superfan. At last count, he’d seen the show nine times. He joins Travon and Mike to geek out about the soundtrack and talk about the time Lin-Manuel Miranda shouted to him from onstage. He also raps some fatherly verses he wrote about his teenage daughter. Plus, Travon and Mike get answers to all of their questions about Tesh’s iconic NBA theme song, “Roundball Rock.”
