In 1992, the lots of Disney studios echoed with the voices of Newsies. Peddlin' the songs of Alan Menken, Jack Feldman, and other giants of the movie musical world. On every corner, you saw 'em carryin' the banner, bringing you the news one song at a time. Poor dancers and singers, the newsies were an athletic army, without a leader, except for Kenny Ortega, the director, who also was totally their leader. Until one day, none of that changed, except that the movie was done and you could go watch it.
And now, we're here to talk to you about it.
Hey! Well....um...haha here's the recording of the livestream that we did to cover the last couple seconds of the movie and the end credits. There are so many topics covered. Who wrote the lyrics? What of ceiling fans? Is there any fanfiction that Erin (who claims she didn't write it) could read on the air, what did we get each other for Christmas, an FMK, and like 3 announcements of things that are either well-established or even over by now. So....yeah! We had a great time on this show. Don't stop telling your Newsies loving friends about it! We love new listeners!

Black Lives Matter
Why is this audio file so long? The time from the last word of the statement to the last second of the track totals 8 minutes and 46 seconds. 8 minutes and 46 seconds doesn't sound like a long time until you are confronted with just how long it can drag on. 8 minutes and 46 seconds is how long it took to end George Floyd's life [https://www.8m46s.com]. At the Scavengers Network, we support the nationwide protests against police brutality; because Black Lives Matter. It is not enough to simply be “not racist”. You must be anti-racist. This is not a matter of “differing politics” nor is it something that is up for debate. This is about human and civil rights. We must make Black voices heard. Amplify and listen to Black voices. We have always been committed to using our platform to raise others up, and do what is right. Please, join us.

Michael John Hughes Interview!
"Wait," you say. "I though Newsies Minute was over! They finished the movie! They did a whole livestream about it!"
Well, that's true. But we weren't *entirely* done. We had one more interview to do.
We got the chance to sit down with Michael John Hughes, who plays Romeo and Spot in the Arena Stage production of Newsies: The Musical: The Stage Version, and have a really interesting conversation about what it's like to come into the Newsies fandom from the other direction. Michael John is a lovely person and it was a really fun interview, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
