where the #hamily at~~~

Today we've been touched by an angel because Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator and star of "Hamilton" and a genius for real, has once again shouted out Genius, this time on BuzzFeed's #1 podcast, ANOTHER ROUND.

Lin sat down with hosts Heben and Tracy to discuss how he spent seven years writing our biggest cultural meme, why "Hamilton" is actually about Kanye, and around minute 44—right when he's plugging new lyric annotations in his upcoming book—he talks about how "Genius dot com" pushed him to make the annotations even more personal and specific considering there's already so much scholarship around the musical.

go to Episode 45, "Practical Tactical Brilliance," and listen! Or just move your scrubber to min. 44:25 for the mention ;)

relatedly: have you seen this video?
