Customer Reviews
A pod by theater lovers for theater lovers
Ellen and Benita both clearly love the theater in all its aspects, from broadway to basement as it were. They play off of eachother very well, and their guests have been amazing so far. I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes!
Such Gracious Hosts
I am proud to have been a guest on this podcast and can speak to the work of Benita and Ellen. They are such welcoming and interesting hosts. They make the conversation natural and easygoing. Unlike some podcasts, this one is barely edited, as the hosts have a firm grasp on the material they are exploring. Fun to be a part of and satisfying to listen to!
