Journey Through Oz With Tori Calamito | The BSB Podcast
The World of Oz has exploded since L. Frank Baum’s original novel, The Wizard of Oz, was published back in 1900, as the franchise continues to find new life across all forms of media. From a plethora of novels to quite a few films, from MGM’s Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz to the more recent Broadway musical (and subsequent films from Universal), Wicked, there seems to be a never-ending journey through Oz for audiences and fans alike. With so many different Ozian entries, where does one begin? However, thanks to our special guest Tori Calamito, known as The Oz Vlog on social media, we’re ready to set off down the Yellow Brick Road!
On this episode of The BSB Podcast, hosts Brian Kitson and RJ Miller-Zelinko are joined by Calamito to learn more about her journey into content creation and where her love of The Wizard of Oz began. Covering the original MGM film and Baum’s novels, and how the land of OZ has always been a LGBTQ+ friendly world, Tori Calamito shares her extensive knowledge and passion for this powerhouse franchise.
