In the inaugural episode of the Curious Courage podcast, we (Kristin Latourelle and Corrigan Vaughan) spend an afternoon with the world's first theatre violence designer, Ned Mochel! 

We start by recapping our experience seeing our favorite playwright John Pollono's "Rules of Seconds," before delving into our interview with the show's Violence Designer and hearing how his years of stage experience led him to the creation of a much-needed role. We learn the ins and outs of figuring out how to bring all the guts and gore to the stage, while also talking Shakespeare, the American theatre scene from coast to coast, and how a new crop of playwrights is attracting audiences comprised of everyone from Pretty Little Liars fans to blue-haired grandmas. And for those aspiring to go where there is no path and leave a trail, he offers some words of wisdom. We could listen to Ned talk story all day.
