  • My FAVORITE New Theatre Podcast!

    Caroline Sheen is a delightful podcast host!!

    You can tell she is genuinely invested in her guests and their conversation, plus having an insiders insight as a performer herself, really adds to the perspective when she is speaking with a director or composer.

    I’ll be listening from Seattle, Washington as long as you keep posting new ones!

    Couldn’t ask for a finer and more endearing host than Caroline. Her depth of knowledge and enthusiasm for the art form never goes amiss, she’s managed to track down some of the most incredible guests for her first season and this has fast become my favourite podcast to look forward to every week. Congrats & here’s to Season 2!
