Genius Is a Team Sport (Just Ask Lin-Manuel Miranda) or his Biographer | Pet of the Week
What do you get when you think you're interviewing Lin-Manuel Miranda… but instead end up with the scholar who might know him even better?In this episode of Up+Adam, Adam Montiel sits down with Daniel Pollack-Pelzner - New Yorker contributor, Shakespeare scholar, and author of Lin-Manuel Miranda: The Education of an Artist. Daniel spent years talking with over 150 people from Lin’s world, his family, mentors, collaborators, and Lin himself - to unpack how a sweet, curious kid from Washington Heights became the most transformative voice in modern musical theater.This conversation isn’t just about Lin, it’s about genius as a slow build, creativity as collaboration, and what it really takes to find your artistic voice. Whether you're a theater geek, a Miranda superfan, or just someone trying to turn inspiration into something real, this one hits deep.Check out Daniel’s book, available now: • Lin-Manuel Miranda: The Education of an Artist - Buy it on Bookshop.orgFollow Daniel: • Twitter/X: (https://twitter.com/dpppollack)@dpppollack (https://twitter.com/dpppollack) • Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/danielpollackpelzner/)@danielpollackpelzner (https://www.instagram.com/danielpollackpelzner/) • More about Daniel’s work: danielpollackpelzner.com (http://danielpollackpelzner.com)********Adam will be leading a live workshop on The Art of the Interview at this year’s Central Coast Writers Conference (http://cuesta.edu/writers-conference), happening September 26–27, 2025 at Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo.
