  • I really want to like this

    It’s got a ton of potential but I don’t understand why the audio quality is so amateur. It’s clear no one is using a real podcasting mic and there isn’t any mixing happening. Sounds like laptop mics galore. We are theatre people - this should be baseline good quality audio. Legitimately I keep starting episodes and quitting them because of the audio being hard to understand

  • It's the art of theatre from the playwright's perspective

    I enjoy this podcast immensely, especially the opening prologues that are more personal. Also, the choice of guests is spot on. I can discover fascinating new writers, and find out more about the ones I already know. I listened to Paula Vogel's interview twice because it was so very interesting. And tonight I discovered Roger Q Mason, who sounds like a freaking force of nature. We can be proud of such great theatre artists, young and seasoned. Thanks for bringing them to our attention.
