#88: #Lintoberfest with Lin-Manuel Miranda // Part One

<p>Lin-Manuel Miranda came over to my apartment and we had so much fun that I have FIVE episodes for you! Welcome to #Lintoberfest, with my husband Michael Paul Smith joining me for these episodes. In Part One, I try to get over the fact that Lin is recording in my living room - spoiler! I don't! - But regardless, we tell the story of how Lin ended up on the podcast, details of the early days of <em>Hamilton</em>, why Lin is a Hamilton/Burr hybrid, and quote <em>The West Wing</em> a LOT. We also eat popcorn and drink the Spark Into a Flame cocktail, made especially for Lin and inspired by his Inwood, NYC roots. Stay tuned for four more episodes: two more with Lin and then the Lin B-Sides which will be outtakes, non-sequiturs, and commentary by me and Mike (you know Mike). And no, I'm still not over the fact that this happened! No chill whatsoever!</p> <p>To help Puerto Rico:<br /> <a href="https://hispanicfederation.org/donate">https://hispanicfederation.org/donate</a></p> <p>Donate to disaster relief:<br /> <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/best-charities-to-help-hurricane-victims-harvey-irma-maria-2017-9"> http://www.businessinsider.com/best-charities-to-help-hurricane-victims-harvey-irma-maria-2017-9</a></p> <p><br /> <a href="https://www.bakerripley.org/get-involved/donate">https://www.bakerripley.org/get-involved/donate</a></p> <p><br /> <a href="https://www.oneamericaappeal.org/">https://www.oneamericaappeal.org/</a></p> <p><br /> <a href="https://secure.humanesociety.org">https://secure.humanesociety.org</a></p> <p><br /> Previous episodes referenced:<br /> <a href="http://www.thehamilcast.com/episode-65-dag-i-amaze-and-astonish-part-one/"> http://www.thehamilcast.com/episode-65-dag-i-amaze-and-astonish-part-one/</a></p> <p><br /> <a href="http://www.thehamilcast.com/episode-66-dag-i-amaze-and-astonish-part-two-"> http://www.thehamilcast.com/episode-66-dag-i-amaze-and-astonish-part-two/</a></p> <p><br /> <a href="http://www.thehamilcast.com/episode-77-you-want-a-revolution-i-want-a-revelation"> http://www.thehamilcast.com/episode-77-you-want-a-revolution-i-want-a-revelation</a></p> <p><br /> <a href="http://www.thehamilcast.com/episode-83-everybodys-dancin-and-the-bands-top-volume/"> http://www.thehamilcast.com/episode-83-everybodys-dancin-and-the-bands-top-volume/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.thehamilcast.com/episode-84-everybodys-dancin-and-the-bands-top-volume-part-two"> http://www.thehamilcast.com/episode-84-everybodys-dancin-and-the-bands-top-volume-part-two</a></p> <p> </p>
