The Theatre History podcast that doesn’t take itself too seriously. For each episode, Aaron Odom hosts a guest from the worldwide theatre community to talk about a bizarre, fascinating and humorous story from theatre history. One catch, the guest has no idea what they’ll be discussing.
Plus, guests return to the program to share ”Theatre Horror Stories,” moments when theatre artists maintain that old adage: ”The show must go on.” From events an audience might never realize affected the show to the wheels falling off a production completely, these stories just make for great listening.

An Incredible Fun Time
Come to listen, come to learn, have fun in the telling. Aaron’s vision here is a fun wedge of information and entertainment you would be a dummy to miss.
So glad I found this show
Where do I start? Aaron, the host, has such a love and passion for theater that you can FEEL through his show. He brings surprise topics to his guest and listeners that are truly fascinating and such a pleasure to dig into. As someone who has a history podcast myself, I first listened to check it out” and very quickly found myself binging for hours. Though I enjoy theater, one doesn’t need to be a theater major to understand and enjoy this show!
Fun theatre history
Wow, I learned a lot while being thoroughly entertained. The host and guest seem to have great chemistry, and covered a whole lot of ground.
