You've heard of musicals and podcasts, but what does it look like when the two are combined?

Well, you get 36 Questions, a new podcast by Two-Up Productions, the people behind the hit podcast, Limetown. Here, Jonathan Groff and Jessie Shelton play a married couple trying to save their marriage by using the 36 questions method that many new couples employ to get to know one another. All of this, of course, is done through song.

Today, 36 Questions creators Ellen Winter and Chris Littler speak to guest host Ali Hassan about the inspiration behind the podcast which is actually based on a New York Times "Modern Love" essay and how they put it all together.
