Customer Reviews
Candid and Thoughtful Theater Shoptalk
As a theater artist, it is refreshing to hear others in this industry speak so freely and relatably about the issues we all deal with; I imagine that for an outsider, this is one of the most frank (without ever being nasty) discussions of the craft you will find. For a free-ranging, unstructured podcast, the continuity of subject matter and odd quirks across episodes is surprising and delightful. And while I do think they could stand to up the sound levels a tad, the editing is seamless, very tightly produced for a DIY podcast.
Not just for theater lovers
I just listened to the episode with Tom and really enjoyed it even as only a casual theater watcher. The conversations about imposter syndrome, dealing with criticism, and interview advice were really relevant to me and fascinating to listen to. Julia and Sam have great chemistry!
Fascinating insight into the creative process
As a theater lover, but non-creative person, I look forward to hearing about the inspiration, craft, and uncertainties of theater illuminated by Sam Heldt, Julia Meinwald and their accomplished guests in this podcast. If you haven’t yet heard this delightful podcast, do yourself a favor and tune in.
