Every Musical Ever is my new favourite - they spend an hour with a musical theatre performer (its an Aussie podcast) disecting musicals, discussing their film adaptations if appropriate, and generally being hilarious.
Musicaltalk also is just superb

Broadwaysted is a lot of fun, but sometimes the mic levels are SUPER uneven, and the drunker the guests become, the louder they laugh. It's a good one for speakers and not headphones. broadwaysted.libsyn.com/

I also really enjoyed Every Musical Ever, right up until the end of the Legally Blonde episode. For some reason they thought it was a good idea to watch a high school production on it online and completely rip it to shreds, just being unnecessarily nasty about these kids that had worked really hard to put a production together. It was borderline bullying and very unprofessional. I don’t really feel like listening to it anymore after that.

Don’t really listen to theatre podcasts, but I love audio dramas - ‘We’re Alive’ being the best (alongside that Ambridge lot).

I don’t listen to any musical theatre podcasts but whilst running I listen to a couple others.
My Dad Wrote a Porno (already recommended on this thread). Filthy, hilarious and downright naughty. I’ve had to stop running in the middle of the street because I’m laughing so much.
My Favourite Murder - it’s a true crime podcast where two female comedians talk through murders they find interesting. It is surprisingly funny and so interesting. I listen to it constantly

If you're into semi-comedy, semi-documentary podcasts, I highly recommend Heavyweight, which is from the Gimlet network. The host is a self-deprecating curious fellow who meets people who want to confront something from their past. It can be intense, but it's always entertaining and often funny.

I tried to like My Favourite Murder but the sound quality made it impossible to listen to on my semi-noisy journey to work and there just wasn't enough fact-checking. I've recently enjoyed Limetown, does anyone know of anything similar? Creepy subject matter, documentary style, doesn't matter if it's fact or fiction?

"Let's talk about myths baby" The Greek myths re-told by a snarky Canadian feminista Shouldn't work but it does

Gave the first episode of My Favourite Murder a listen today. The pair of hosts are obviously very knowledgeable and committed to their interest in the subject, but gosh their chat is scatty. I found it quite hard to listen to with all its American-isms; “LIKE” “Oh Emm Gee” etc. It took quite a while to get going, they spent a lot of time establishing their intention with the podcast etc but once they got into content proper it was interesting. I’ll give Ep2 a listen but not sure how far I’ll get with it.

For The Many - Iain Dale and Jacqui Smith on this weeks politics Sloppy Seconds - A bear rapper and a drag queen. NSFW Older and Wider - comedian Jenny Eclair and producer of Grumpy Old Women Judith Holder wittering on about stuff. Race Chaser - Alaska and Willam from RPDR. Rule Brittania - LBC’s Tom Swarbrick digging deep into a topic.

I've found this season of the Royal Court Playwright podcast excellent with brilliant guests. I particularly enjoyed Christopher Hampton!

New recommendation.
Ur Welcome America
Two British fellas who live in LA translate British pop culture for the Americans and American pop culture for the British. It’s all very daft (latest episode is a Girls Aloud special... that’s the level) but they’re very engaging and funny.

I’m usually a radio fan but I’m really cutting down on it because if the onslaught of news so more than ever looking for podcast recommendations. Great thing about podcasts is that there’s often a huge back catalogue so you can fill your boots without even hearing the C word.

I can highly recommend Musicalsplaining, which looks at musicals from the perspective of someone who loves musical theatre and someone who does not love musical theatre. It’s only four episodes in so it’s also very easy to catch up on.

If you’re an Inside No. 9 fan, they have a great Inside Inside No 9 podcast where Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith go into the making of the episodes. Very funny and informative, even tell you where the hare is...! Also You’re Dead to Me - Greg Jenner takes either a person or period of history and along with guests, tries to get to separate truth from what we all think we know. Again, can be very funny and informative. I’m only just getting into podcasts to alleviate the boredom of my 30-40 mins on the exercise bike that I started to get back into after not going out for walks when the weather was atrocious, so I’d also be interested in suggestions.

For any of you interested; please share and listen to my friend’s podcast! This episode focuses on Joe Aaron Reid (Dreamgirls / In The Heights / If / Then and Smash) smarturl.it/aroundthesoundReally cool podcast and they cover a range of genres in the music industry. They also have an episode with Steve Balsamo too. Love the fact they’re not snobby towards MT.

My podcast go to is a guy called Jim Cornette who used to be a wrestling manager. He talks mainly about wrestling but also goes on rants about the pro-life, gun nuts, hillbillies and basically any Trump supporter. His language is very colourful but he does know what he is on about and is hilarious to listen to.

Not a theatre podcast, but my new favourite is Films to be Buried With by Brett Goldstein and there was a lovely part in Kiri Pritchard McLean's episode where they discuss A Muppet Christmas Carol which leads to a mention about the Old Vic's production and two heartbreaking "new" bits in the story which those who've seen it will know.

Hello, hope this isn't too spammy! We've just launched our new podcast OUT FOR BLOOD which deep dives into the history and mysteries of the infamous musical flop CARRIE, which was produced by the RSC in 1988 and transferred for a (very) short run on Broadway. It starred Linzi Hateley and originally Barbara Cook, who was replaced by Betty Buckley. Half the cast was British, half American, in a unique experiment at the time. We have interviews coming up with over 40 members of the cast, crew, creators and others involved in the fascinating history of this show, all presented in an oral history with plenty of twists and turns along the way. Thanks to members of this board who helped us track down a few people! You can get the trailer in your podcast app now (such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify etc) by searching OUT FOR BLOOD, or you can go to outforbloodpodcast.com - remember to click subscribe so you get all future episodes! And as theatre fans, we'd also love you to rate and recommend the podcast if you like the sound of the trailer, and please feel free to post any comments, questions or corrections!

Just caught up on the Hannah Waddingham episode of this and it's great! Very funny and they know each other from working on Ted Lasso together and he is a huge fan so it's quite cute without being sycophantic.

Not theatre: been enjoying 'the Battersea Poltergeist' from BBC Sounds, a spooky London tale that is making me question my own non-belief in ghosts! Theatre: been enjoying 'Out for Blood' about the notorious flop musical Carrie, with lots of funny interviews with cast members who experienced the chaos.

Kerry Ellis has a podcast now (frankly, who doesn’t?) I haven’t played it yet but she chats with various theatre types, Summer Strallen, Don Blacck, Claire Sweeney, Lea Salonga and erm... Jennifer Ellison (that will be 45 minutes on how she got her toes turned out to a full 180 degrees in the Phantom movie).
It’s called ‘Keep Calm and Kerry On’

I'm really enjoying the Socially Distant Sports Bar. They eventually get round to talking about sport but there's a lot of random chat too (often quite rude so definitely NSFW).

Brett is such a terrific host, he seems so warm and enthusiastic about both the films and his guests! I haven't seen Ted Lasso yet but that episode was a good one too, also I liked the one with Mike Jibson (picking out the stagey ones!) hearing him talk about being in Hamilton and Our House. Also Rob Delaney (another great episode) revealed that there may be a West End musical on the horizon for him, so interested to see what that is!
