“A pleasingly simple concept… one of the best things I’ve come upon in the last six months” (The Telegraph – ‘Best Podcasts’)

5 speakers, 15 minutes each. Script free and against a less-than-precise clock, some of the world’s leading figures in the arts and sciences deliver talks about their enduring achievements, wildest moments or deepest passions. It’s inspiring, informative, provoking, and above all, entertaining. Based in London but making forays to Sydney, New York and Milan, 5×15 has featured Joanna Lumley, Brian Eno, Jonathan Safran Foer, Jung Chang, Ruby Wax and Alain de Botton.

From the creator of Hedwig & the Angry Inch comes a revolutionary podcast musical, written and composed by John Cameron Mitchell and Bryan Weller. Broke artist Ceann Mackay (Mitchell) starts an online telethon to crowdfund his survival. Cynthia Erivo, Glenn Close, Nakhane and Patti LuPone co-star in a darkly hilarious musical retelling of Ceann’s life as he realizes what’s killing him may be the very thing that saves us all.

It’s Broadway Bitch is a place for the theatre folk to gather and dilly dally. Your host, comedian Casey Balsham, will ask the hard hitting questions like what jellicle cat are you most attracted to, and what happens if you have to use the bathroom when they call places?

It’s BB’s goal is to have some laughs with the Broadway community and aims to avoid questions about how you got started and why you wanted to be an actor. We’re more interested in your Taco Bell order and if you find child actors as creepy as we do. The show draws inspiration from
Between Two Ferns and Chicken Shop Date with a little Watch What Happens Live mixed in so you know there’s gonna be juicy gossip…but at it’s heart, it’s a love letter to theatre.

Are you ballet curious? The Grace & Form podcast is your backstage pass to the world of movement and the stories that shape it. Hosted by the founders of the ballet and workout app Grace & Form, Indiana Woodward (Principal Ballerina at New York City Ballet) and Saskia Gregson-Williams (Bestselling Author), we share the inspiring journeys of top dancers, creators, and artists who find joy and purpose through movement. Each episode explores their careers, life lessons, and how they’ve learned to be a little kinder to themselves along the way.

The two most common questions anyone at Playbill gets from friends or family are: “What’s on Broadway? And what should I see?” The Playbill Podcast is here to help.

Each episode highlights a currently running Broadway show and features an interview with members of the cast and/or creative team. Hosted by Alex Birsh (Playbill’s VP & COO), the podcast is co-hosted by an interchanging “theatre friend,” someone at or connected to Playbill who is well-versed in Broadway within their own social circles, and often answers the question, “What Broadway show would I like?”

Whether you’re a Broadway veteran or just starting to explore, the Playbill Podcast brings you the magic of Broadway, one show at a time.
