Customer Reviews
Performing arts intel
I love listening to this podcast to help navigate what’s going on in the city when it comes to performing arts. The hosts have incredible knowledge and insight and are lovely to listen to.
Curiosity and joy!
I loved the first iteration of this podcast, when it was mostly about dance. Now that Fawnda and Paul have enlarged their lens to include other types of performance, I love it even more. We're lucky to have this coverage of Edmonton's arts scene, and I look forward to lots more in the coming years.
They Totally Get It...
And they do a fantastic job of it. Thanks for covering local arts, and performances that don't get enough regular coverage!
