This is the second of two episodes that feature short interviews with the cast of https://www.thenewcolossuspodcast.com/ (THE NEW COLOSSUS )audio drama (released in April 2020). This episode features half of the cast, all of whom play the more experienced generation of characters. ???????? You’ll hear from Michael Foley, Susannah Hough, John Jimerson and Edith Snow, interviewed by Kaley Morrison and Barbette Hunter during our recording days in November of 2019.  These are short snippets — each actor had only a few minutes between their calls to pop over and answer a few of Kaley and Barbette’s questions.
