About 100 PLAYS: Lessons Learned Telling Stories From the Stage

Welcome to 100 PLAYS: Lessons Learned Telling Stories From the Stage! This is a second podcast that lives under the Page&Stage banner. But instead of deep-dive interviews, this one will just be me, your friendly neighborhood storycoach, sharing stories and lessons I’ve gained from working in the professional theatre for almost 30 years. So this podcast will be part memoir, part love letter to the theatre, and part motivational handbook for all you fellow storytellers out there. I’ll be sharing a new play or musical every other Monday, alternating with your regularly scheduled Page&Stage Podcast, so this is gonna be about a four-year project. However you found me and whenever you’re tuning in, I invite you to join me on this artistic journey through 100 PLAYS. (You can check out VIDEO versions over on YouTube.) www.pageandstage.art

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
