  • I interview for a living and I love this

    Peter Eyers has a warm, engaging manner that brings out the best in his guests - great stories, great conversations. I’m not in the industry - I’m a psychotherapist - but as an outsider it’s fascinating to hear how the creativity behind great performances works. Peter draws this out beautifully time and time again. Bravo Mr Eyers!

  • Capturing important stories

    I adore this podcast, especially the episodes with the older guests…ensuring their stories are captured for future generations is so incredibly important.

    Peter’s research and knowledge of our arts and entertainment industry is second to none.

    Well done! Stages is always a wonderful “friend” whom I love listening to on long weekend walks.

  • Brilliant record of our local industry

    This is a much needed and timely series brilliantly put together and hosted by a man in the know. It’s a gift to all who are interested in theatre and our own industry aside from the cliches and rhetoric of Broadway.
