  • Mandatory listening for all theater students

    Brennan and his knowledgeable guests share the essentials to landing a job on Broadway. From education, to auditions, to resumes, no other podcast or platform is so willing to teach what you didn’t learn in theater school.

    Even listeners who don’t have plans to tread the boards can enjoy listening to Brennan’s conversations with his fellow actors. He is a natural host: personable, funny, and willing to share the mic with his guests.
