This podcast is great. It's a podcast that does not take itself too seriously and therefore can be enjoyed by musical theater nerds or people that are simply curious about musical theatre going on in London or anywhere really. Job well done.

A fantastic listen - doesn't take itself too seriously, nicely chatty and informative. Some good interviews hidden away. At its best when lighthearted in style.
Apple Podcasts5PerfectSixUnited Kingdom14 years ago - Take a listen, you won't regret it!
Just absolutely brilliant. I've been an avid listener of this podcast since 2007 and it's never failed to entertain me. Not only is it hilarious - I've had to pause it at times as I was laughing so hard - it is also informative, and a great incite to the world of Musical Theatre. If you have ANY doubts about listening to this podcast, please put them aside and take a listen. You'll be very glad you did.
