  • Keep ‘em coming Jonathan!

    Just finished listening to THE QUAKE and, I have to say, I am always deeply impressed at the production itself. The sound design is absolutely incredible. A scary script just goes up to eleven under GBTGL’s terrifying care. Highest marks and looking forward to listening to the rest. And not to forget Doctor Necropolis either. The perfect counterpoint host to Jonathan and Devon.

  • A Rabbit Hole of Fun

    I love a good story and this podcast is attention getting and a great listen. I’m drawn in on a roller coaster ride of comedy, drama, and great gotchas, all with professional casts, fantastic sound effects, and really interesting interviews of the writers.

    I’m a huge fan of theatre and it’s a great way to hear wonderfully done plays.
