Doug Weaver and Theresa Buchheister started getting coffee together every week in September of 2024, when Buchheister moved back to Lawrence, KS from Brooklyn, NY after exactly 20 years. They met in the year 2000 when Weaver was a professor and Buchheister was a student. The vibes have always been solid and they persist. Giving into inevitability, they started a podcast in 2026.

They gave themselves an assignment to create seasons for a regional LORT-style theater, a local arts space and a space that is created because The Mellon Foundation gave them a million dollars. It is a very fun assignment and also someone should hire them to DO THESE SEASONS! Next episode we start getting into movies! But for now, enjoy What Was I Saying ... (about) THEATER CULTURE P4!
