Episode: Evita feat. Sydney Urbanek
Description: Culture writer and premiere authority on all things concerning pop divas Sydney Urbanek joins Aaron & Carlee to discuss the 1996 adaptation of the classic Andrew Lloyd Weber & Tim Rice musical 'Evita' staring Madonna. We discuss the pop singer's efforts to silence her Erotica-era critics, the parallel lives of Madonna and the historical figure she portrayed, and the musical's tenuous relationship with Argentine politics.
