Listen "What The Frock - The Musical"
Episode Synopsis
For years Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod have filled the airwaves with commentary, complaints, odd theology, accidental wisdom, and a level of bewilderment that most philosophers would envy. The show has always lived at the intersection of humor and honesty, the place where ordinary life becomes absurd enough to laugh at and meaningful enough to talk about. Turning that into a musical seemed impossible. Naturally, that meant we had to do it.
What The Frock: The Musical takes everything listeners have come to love and folds it into a story of destiny gone wrong, divine paperwork misplaced, ancient Goliard masters, and two mortals who never asked for a quest yet somehow ended up with one. It is a tale of broken cables, botched recordings, tiny miracles, and the belief that if you keep talking long enough, something true will eventually wander into the room. The songs carry the same spirit. They tease, they question, they sigh, they celebrate, and sometimes they reveal a little more heart than anyone intends.
The podcast version of the musical gives listeners the chance to experience the show from the best seat in the house. It unfolds scene by scene with the same warmth, sarcasm, and cosmic side eye that shaped the original idea. You will hear Fortuna guiding the story with dramatic confidence. You will hear heavenly clerks creating more problems than they solve. You will hear medieval chanting, accidental heroism, and the first sparks of a destiny that was never meant to land on two men who can barely keep their microphones plugged in.
Most of all, you will hear the heart of What The Frock. Two friends trying to understand the world, laughing at its nonsense, and offering listeners a place to stand while the universe wobbles. There is something beautiful in that work, even when it is wrapped in comedy and confusion.
The curtain rises soon. The music begins. And the strange little show that should not exist steps proudly into the spotlight. Welcome to What The Frock: The Musical. Enjoy the chaos. Enjoy the songs. And thank you for being part of the story.
