The Playbill Podcast: A Show on Broadway

Playbill, Inc.

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.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
