Absolutely wild episode. One for the Loreheim record books. Listen for blunt revelations about Sondheim the pot smoking, bi-curious gamer - who almost married two women. And it ends with the final(?) word on those dungeon allegations, for which the sex-pos-sondheim community will surely be devastated.

Sondheim's list of 'Songs I Wish I’d Written (At Least In Part)' sparks memories and insights from Broadway's finest musical talents. Sondheim's esteemed friends and colleagues John Kander, Richard Maltby Jr, David Shire, Jonathan Tunick and Maury Yeston offer an unprecedented and unique view of Sondheim's musicianship, artistry and love of his friends' work. From glittering 1960s parties to intimate evenings drinking wine and listening to records in Sondheim's study, we learn, including through unpublished Sondheim emails, the respect and support this legendary composer-lyricist offered his peers.
