About The Nonfiction Theatre Forum

The Nonfiction Theatre Forum brings together theatre artists, documentarians, journalists, and scholars to explore how real stories are made for the stage. Hosted by Ash Marinaccio, a theatremaker and documentarian dedicated to storytelling for systemic change, the podcast dives into the creative and ethical questions behind nonfiction performance–from documentary and autobiographical theatre to verbatim and community-based work. Produced in collaboration with HowlRound Theatre Commons and Docbloc, each episode opens up conversations about truth, representation, and the art of bringing reality to the stage.

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.
