Remembering Limmie Pulliam: An Unconventional Journey to Opera Stardom

About this episode

This episode is a tribute to the late Limmie Pulliam, exploring his unconventional journey to opera stardom.

This episode is a special re-release in honor of the late Limmie Pulliam, a powerhouse dramatic tenor whose extraordinary path to success defied every expectation. Originally recorded in 2023, Kerry sits down with her college friend to talk about his late-blooming rise—from singing in a small-town church choir to commanding some of the world’s most prestigious opera stages. After learning of Limmie’s passing on May 19 at age 51, Kerry felt compelled to share this conversation again as a tribute to his life, talent, and larger-than-life spirit. Limmie was truly a force of nature, and in this episode, he opens up about forging his own path, trusting the timing of his journey, and redefining what success can look like.
