We're kicking off 2022 with a discussion of Apple TV+'s musical comedy pastiche, Schmigadoon! If you've ever enjoyed the sweet technicolor candyfloss of a classic Hollywood musical, then Schmigadoon is the show for you. This week Abigail sits down with musical theatre scholar Dr. Lisa Duffy to talk about women and race in mid-century musicals, and what Schmigadoon does right (and wrong) in their loving send-up of the genre. Lisa can be found on Twitter and Instagram at @_lisawithans or @memoryofallthat.  Historical Friction is a podcast about storytelling, pop culture, the past, and why we reenact it.  Support the show on Patreon at patreon.com/historicalfriction Follow the show on Twitter @historyfriction Email us at [email protected] Follow Abigail on Twitter or Instagram @onceuponafine
