Introducing a New Podcast: Someone's Thunder

 
 

The phrase “someone’s thunder” comes from the theater – but not a famous line from a bard – a stolen special effect!  In the early 1700s, a new sound effect swept theaters uncredited, and the phrase to steal someone’s thunder was born.

Isn’t that the way with art? Who cares where it’s from – if it makes us feel, we want more of it – in different ways – again and again!

Native New Yorkers, entertainment professionals, and long-time friends Angela Pierce and Stephanie Klapper chat about creativity in general and all the surprises, thunder, and “someones” behind it.
