Fiorello La Guardia (with Calvin Kasulke)
Added 2025-04-24 07:00:07 +0000 UTC
This week, we cover possibly the best mayor the podcast, nay, the world has ever seen? Municipal meeting minutes include: Choose your Columbo, a bowling ball I hate, Hepatitis B(eef), Selling Teddy Roosevelt some boots with your shirt off, stroking a firefighter’s cheekbone, Ominous Noises, mAyOr3, and municipal Itchy and Scratchy.
Come see Mattie (and Calvin!) on tour in Chicago (tonight!) Minneapolis (tomorrow!) and Brooklyn (May 9!)

Shout out to Fiorello La Guardia for being the only mayor (to my knowledge) who had a Tony Award-winning (or any) musical written about him <3

2025-04-26 20:39:55 +0000 UTCReally surprised to not hear references to the obscure (yet Pulitzer Prize winning!!) musical, Fiorello. I saw a student production of it at NYU in the early 2010s and every so often I remember “hey! there’s a musical about that mayor!”

2025-04-24 08:09:33 +0000 UTCI’d like to nominate Troy Thompson mayor(?) of Townsville for a future municipal roundup. He’s currently serving his first term despite losing a vote of no confidence from the rest of the council.
