    I love this podcast because it is built upon the shared love of theater for an entire city. The Toledo area has an absurd amount of community theatre and this podcast helps to tie the community together even more. The hosts genuinely love theatre and sound like they have a blast with their guests. Love the show and can’t wait for more episodes.
