Burlesque, Bravery, and a Cat Costume

Josh Gondelman talks with caller Joy about her ever-expanding costume room, the night she cried during her very first burlesque class, and the train conductor hat she's still trying to justify buying.

What You'll Hear:

A Costume Room Comes to Life: Josh checks in on Joy's Airbnb before she shares what's happening in the costume-and-aerial-arts room she's been building at home.

From Six-Week Class to Burlesque Regular: Joy traces her path from a nervous, tearful first performance fifteen years ago to a confident, ever-changing stage persona built entirely on bravery over technique.

Train Conductor Hats and Cat Songs: Between a Medieval Times birthday and a mysterious group of "elderly" costumed strangers in Canada, Joy explains how a good prop always finds its purpose eventually.
