OK, so this is a biased view as I host this Podcast so take it's inclusion as very partizan...but, I hope you'll enjoy listening anyway!

Audio Drama Performing Arts

A series hosted by Matthew Jared Lee based in Portland Oregon exploring how to reimagine stories with contemporary perspectives while giving universal access to the content digitally. With 17 actors/contributors over the season and all over the country they produce new work, examine older stories, create a new adaptation of Washington Irving's 'The Devil and Tom Walker' and through a section called 'Cold & Drunk' they throw a script at a bunch of actors while getting them drunk and hope for the best. It's an exploration rather than a totally finished product and that's the fun of it as the listener discovers along with the actors what works, and what doesn't. They don't pretend to have the answers but they do have lots of questions and right now, that's important!
Tone Deaf: A Theatre Nerd's Guide for their Musically Challenged Spouse
A married couple's journey through musical theatre.

The section I listened to was during Black History Month 2020. A lot of fascinating history as K enlightens partner Warren. K, as you'll soon discover is the Theatre Nerd, Warren....not so much! It's conversational, doesn't take itself too seriously and may contain explicit, adult language. Definitely worth dipping in to.
The Theatre History Podcast
Performance is an ephemeral thing, so how do we rediscover its history, and what can that teach us about theatre today? The Theatre History Podcast explores these questions through interviews with scholars and artists who are studying theatre's

Michael Leuger is a theatre historian based at Boston College - Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences. This Podcast contains some great interviews with very knowledgeable guests. I love this series as it's a Podcast I can just dip in to every now and then when I feel like being Nerdy. If you love Theatre and History I don't think you could want for more.
Off Book: The Improvised Musical
It takes years for a Broadway musical to hit the stage, but on OFF BOOK: The Improvised Musical, you get a brand new original musical every week! Each episode, Jessica McKenna, Zach Reino and a special guest create a new musical on the spot. Ac

Love this show. Reminds me of 'Showstopper! The Improvised Musical' that I watched back in 2008 and at various Edinburgh Fringe Festivals where it usually sells out every time. Lot's of irreverent conversation and laughter. Just jump in anywhere in this series and you'll have a ball.
Take Me To Coffee
Why have just one mentor when you can have the whole internet? #TM2CPodcast is for anyone who looks outside of their box for inspiration and knows just how important a great mentor can be. Each week, co-hosts and theatre creators Jessica Ryan
stevescrivens
A mentorship Podcast hosted by Jessica Ryan & Andrew Call. Full of candid conversation over coffee with experts across every field. It's professionally produced, the guests are always interesting and the conversation flows as freely as the coffee. If you're involved in Theatre at any level you'll find episodes here that speak to you.
The Guardian UK Culture Podcast
The Guardian's UK Culture podcast features the best of our original writing, drama, reviews and news. Our latest series is Adulting, the Guardian's first foray into original podcast content
stevescrivens
So many different sections in this podcast series. All are fascinating stories about culture in general, not just Theatre. Some weeks there's a feature on the impact of a webcast funeral on relatives and friends who can't be there in person due to Covid-19 restrictions. Other weeks there'll be a feature on how David Hasselhoff brought down the Berlin Wall (well, not quite....you'll have to listen for yourself.)
Theatre of the Electric Mouth
Theatre of the Electric Mouth is an international community of artists, collaborating remotely to create absurd and literary audio dramas.
stevescrivens
This one gets on my list because I'm confused about it and because in this age of Covid-19 I'm fascinated by innovation and using AI to collaborate with on script development certainly fits in that category. So far as I can tell, AI scripts are about as well developed in 2021 as voice recognition was in the 90's capable more of producing comical incoherent sentences than a cogent script but watching it develop will be fascinating.
