The story of Elphaba (the villainous and betrayed) and Glinda (the bubbly and promoted) ends with this final installment as they maneuver the political and mob-like landscape of Oz. The grand love story of Tish and Fonny gets derailed and severely tested when Fonny is arrested for a serious crime that he never committed.

Oscar Mike Radio428 - Christmas 2024
On December 25th, 2024, I had the privilege of recording a special episode at the Lewis V. Dorsey American Legion Post #112 in Abington, Massachusetts. This wasn’t just another recording—it was a chance to step outside my studio and do something unique. Armed with my wireless lavalier microphone, I captured the raw, authentic energy I was aiming for. The absence of extra lighting gave the episode a candid and natural vibe that wouldn’t have been the same otherwise. Using DaVinci Resolve 19, I worked to get the sound just right, bringing the essence of the moment to life.
