  • Favorite podcast I’ve ever listened to!

    I’ve been a fan of James for years but somehow only recently found his podcast! It’s entertaining and informative. I laugh out loud AND learn a lot about different aspects of the world of ballet. Thank you, James! I hope that you will make more episodes someday and to see you recovered and onstage again in ABT’s fall season!
