  • My fav

    The kind of theater interview show you want to listen to! Jonathan Cake is an engaging, passionate practitioner-interviewer. The questions get to the heart of how the work is made, how (and why) the guests do what they do. The conversations feel intimate, everyone seems happy to be there. Wonderful, I can’t wait for more.
