Quinn Lemley's "Secrets of the Stage" (with Mark Blumberg)

How many hours of interviews does it take to create a compelling podcast story? How do producers shape raw conversations into emotional, immersive storytelling experiences? On this episode of Secrets of the Stage with Quinn Lemley, producer and director Mark Blumberg talks about his creative process behind the acclaimed podcast production of My Phantom Memory, a documentary-style portrait exploring the life of swing actor Greg Mills in Broadway’s  longest-running show, Phantom of the Opera. Blumberg shares how sonic layering, editing choices, and authentic human connection can transform raw interviews into cinematic audio experience with documentary storytelling.
