Stephen Sondheim 1930-2021

In 2008 I was working for Sony Masterworks during the release of the box set “Stephen Sondheim: The Story So Far” and was honored to have the opportunity to co-produce (with Vella Interactive, Dana Saltzman Siegel and David Foil) a lengthy podcast series around the entirety of his career. It’s not available online anywhere that I can find so I thought I’d post it here.
