The Much-Delayed “Hamilton” Song Rankings

June 25, 2016 /

So yeah, I know we said we were going to put up our full rankings before the Tony Awards, but then I had a thought: Why would anyone want to listen to the podcast if we just posted the rankings? So, we waited. Gave you some time to listen to the podcast. And I think it’s fair to say now that if you’ve gone this long without listening to it, you probably aren’t going to. So anyway, here are the rankings, in their entirety. First mine, which I have already released in full on the podcast, and second Bryan’s, for the very first time anywhere.

Someone please yell at him for having “What’d I Miss?” way, way too low.

Fauxworthy Podcast Episode 26: Throwing Away Our Shot

June 9, 2016 /

 

We did something out of the ordinary this week. Instead of talking about television, we talked about musical theater.

That’s right! With the Tony Awards coming up this Sunday night, Bryan and Taylor decided to dive into the phenomenon that is 16-time nominee “Hamilton” and rank all 46 songs on the nearly 150-minute long soundtrack. Taylor ran through his list from the bottom (46) to No. 12, where Bryan joined in for each man to reveal his top 12.

Lots of fun and random bursts into song on this one. What will be number one? Listen to find out!

Timeline:

00:00 Intro

04:35 Taylor’s No. 46-10

15:00 Bryan and Taylor Top 10

23:40 Things Happening Soon

Remember, you can find all of our previous podcasts on TheFauxworthyPodcast.com and on iTunes (where you should definitely subscribe, rate, and review!). Reminder: You might need to delete our podcast from your feed and re-subscribe because the shift to our new site confused iTunes somehow. We are also a part of the Establishing Shot Podcast Network.

Thanks again to Levi Bradford for our awesome theme song. You can find more of his music here.

Comment with your rankings. We’ll have ours posted on Sunday before the Tony Awards!

Fauxworthy Podcast Episode 4: Thoughts on the Emmy Awards

April 16, 2016 /

 

This week, Bryan Faux and Taylor Gaines discuss their takeaways from the 67th Emmy Awards and try to decide if any of it really mattered. Then, Taylor works in a shameless plug, and Bryan raves about a new hit musical named “Hamilton.”

(The episode number that Bryan says at the beginning will slightly differ for the first seven or so episodes because Bryan initially had more of a general media podcast. As far as the Fauxworthy TV Podcast goes, this is number four.)

Original Recording Date: Sep. 22, 2015

Here’s this week’s timeline:

Emmy’s 00:00-28:25

Shameless Plug for “Hidden In Plain View” 28:25-29:45

Bryan Raves About “Hamilton” 29:45-38:35
