On each weekly episode Rimalower and co-host Daniel Nolen chat with guests about one album that they were obsessed with, how they discovered it, what it led them to, where they were in life when it impacted them and how it's stayed with them since.
In this episode, Ben and Daniel talk to singer and actress Linda Eder about Barbra Streisand's 1965 album "My Name is Barbra." They also discuss Judy Garland, Shirley Bassey, Whitney Houston, Glenn Close, Frank Wildhorn, "The Scarlet Pimpernel," Andrew Lloyd Webber, "Sunset Boulevard," Eydie Gormé, Michael Bublé, Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, "Annie Get Your Gun," Vikki Carr, Eileen Farrell, Betty Buckley and "Hello, Dolly!"
