The Music in Me

Teri R

🎶 Welcome to The Music in Me, a podcast where music isn’t just something you hear—it’s something you feel.

Hi, I’m Teri, your host and fellow music lover. From the moment I first heard a melody, music has been my greatest passion. It’s the soundtrack to my life, and I believe it’s the soundtrack to yours too. Whether it’s a song that makes you dance, a Broadway musical that leaves you in awe, or an anthem that inspires change, music has the power to connect us in ways words alone never could.

On this podcast, we explore it all—chart-topping hits, hidden gems, iconic Broadway shows, and the incredible stories behind the music. I’m here to share my love of all genres and dive into how music shapes our lives, brings us joy, and reminds us we’re not alone.

Every episode is packed with rhythm, heart, and discovery. Whether we’re breaking down wedding dance favorites, celebrating musicals like Mean Girls or Bonnie and Clyde, or exploring anthems of freedom and resilience, there’s always something new to learn and love.

If you’re as passionate about music as I am—or if you’re just curious about the songs and stories that inspire us—then join me for a journey through The Music in Me. Together, we’ll celebrate the beats that bring us together and keep us moving forward.

The Many Faces of Fatherhood in Musical Theater
In this Father’s Day episode of The Music in Me, I’m diving into the powerful, emotional, and sometimes unexpected ways musical theater portrays fathers and father figures. After doing a Mother’s Day episode celebrating moms in musicals, I knew I wanted to continue the tradition and shine a light on dads this time around. In this episode, I explore songs that show the many sides of fatherhood—fathers dreaming about the future, fathers trying to connect with their children, fathers who aren’t perfect, fathers who sacrifice everything, and the quiet beauty of watching children grow up. Some of these songs are longtime favorites of mine, and others were brand new discoveries I found while researching this episode, and I honestly fell in love with them. From classics like Les Misérables and Fiddler on the Roof to modern favorites like Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, and Ragtime, each song adds a different layer to what it means to be a father or father figure. This episode is heartfelt, reflective, and deeply personal as I also take a moment to celebrate the important father figures in my own life. Whether you're celebrating, remembering, or simply reflecting this Father’s Day, I hope these songs from musical theater resonate with you as much as they did with me. SONGS MENTIONED… · Soliloquy from Carousel · Dear Theodosia from Hamilton · Wheels of a Dream from Ragtime · To Break in a Glove from Dear Evan Hansen · Hey Kid from If/Then · Daddy Knows Best from SpongeBob SquarePants: The Musical · Not My Father’s Son from Kinky Boots · Like Father, Like Son from Aida · Dead Man’s Boots from The Last Ship · Bring Him Home from Les Misérables · You’re Daddy’s Son from Ragtime · No Matter What from Beauty and the Beast · Something Was Missing from Annie · Sunrise, Sunset from Fiddler on the Roof What did you think of this episode?

Jonathan Larson: The Dreamer Who Changed Broadway
In this episode of The Music in Me, I’m diving into the inspiring and heartbreaking story of Jonathan Larson, the visionary composer who changed Broadway forever. After recently watching Tick, Tick… Boom! on Netflix, I was reminded just how powerful Larson’s story is—and it also brought back memories of how much Rent means to me personally, since it was the very first Broadway show I ever saw. I explore Larson’s journey as a struggling artist in New York who dreamed of bringing rock music and real-life stories to the Broadway stage. I talk about the autobiographical musical Tick, Tick… Boom! and how it captures the fear, passion, and pressure that come with chasing a creative dream. Then I dive into Rent, the groundbreaking musical that would go on to transform Broadway with its raw storytelling, unforgettable songs, and themes of love, friendship, and chosen family. I also reflect on the tragedy of Jonathan Larson’s sudden death at just 35 years old—right before Rent opened—and the incredible legacy he left behind. From influencing modern musicals to inspiring artists everywhere, Larson’s impact is still being felt today. This episode is about passion, perseverance, and the power of creating something meaningful. What did you think of this episode?

Hidden Magic: My Favorite Underrated Disney Songs
In this episode of The Music in Me, I’m sharing ten of my favorite underrated Disney songs from some of my favorite Disney movies. These may not be the biggest or most talked-about Disney hits, but they are the songs that truly mean the most to me. From the joyful energy of “Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride” to the emotional depth of “The Next Right Thing” and “God Help the Outcasts,” I’m diving into the songs that build the story, reveal the heart of the characters, and stay with us long after the credits roll. I even talk about getting to see “He Lives in You” and “One Jump Ahead” performed live on Broadway in New York, which made me love those songs even more. These are the hidden Disney gems that deserve so much more love — and I can’t wait to share why they matter so much to me. SONGS MENTIONED... Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride from Lilo & Stitch Frozen Heart from Frozen The Next Right Thing from Frozen II The Gospel Truth 1/ Main Title from Hercules God Help the Outcasts from The Hunchback of Notre Dame He Lives in You from The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride Son of Man from Tarzan Evermore from Beauty and the Beast (Live Action) When We're Human from The Princess and the Frog One Jump Ahead and the Reprise from Aladdin What did you think of this episode?

If you love music, movies, and the thrill of awards season as much as I do, this episode is for you. Grab your popcorn, your imaginary red carpet invite, and let’s dive into the songs that made 2026 awards season unforgettable.
