NPR Bullseye with Jesse Thorn: Lin-Manuel Miranda
He'll throw us back to his childhood. Lin-Manuel grew up in a working class neighborhood north of Harlem. He went to a fancy school for gifted kids on the Upper East Side. It would be remiss to ignore that he directed a high school production of West Side Story. He went to college at Wesleyan. Not long after he graduated, had a hit Broadway musical with In The Heights.
