Mr. Mentor (w/Don Marrazzo)

This time on the Fletchcast, Alex sits down with Don Marrazzo. Don has served as an invaluable mentor to Alex and many, many people. His career in music began when he unexpectedly gained admission to the Curtis Institute of Music after high school, and since then, he's embarked on a purpose-driven journey to teach, nurture and mentor. His tenure as Director of Casting & Artistic Operations at Glimmerglass Opera (now The Glimmerglass Festival) was defined by a unique ability to scout talent and identify potential. PLUS Alex shares an update on his controversial passion for bringing coffee mugs into cars, and showcases the talents of a young aspiring voice actor.  If you like what you hear, please SHARE, subscribe, and review!

AFC Wigs the World

The Fletchcast roars back from an inadvertent hiatus with the legendary Anne Ford-Coates (AFC). In addition to just being good peeps, AFC has had an amazing career as a hair and makeup designer. After decades of work in the opera world (starting when she was 16!), Anne added Broadway to her resume starting in 2015. Since then, she's been the Makeup and/or Hair Designer for shows like "On The Twentieth Century", "A Bronx Tale", "Oklahoma!", and yes, Disney's "Frozen." Pour yourself something tasty and kick back for a great conversation.  If you like what you hear, please SHARE, subscribe, and review!

Life’s Rich Pageant (w/David Moody)

David Moody joins Alex for a conversation about his life in music, always striving to do your best, and why sometimes, waking your kids up at 3 AM is good for them.
