Bants with Boo
To Bant or not to Bant. That is the question. Or is it? Bants with Boo is a comedy-based podcast hosted by Tam Mutu and Ricky Rojas, whose friendship started while working on the Broadway musical Moulin Rouge. As Original Cast members, they worked together for four years, creating the roles of the Duke of Monroth and Santiago for the stage. An extension of their behind-the-scenes live events on social media, this podcast is a lively side-splitting experience. With guests such as Aaron Tveit, Robyn Hurder, and many more to come, not only will you want more of their banter, you will be begging for it.
