For the fourth year running, The Stage has joined forces with Ewan Spence and The Podcast Network to produce The Edinburgh Fringe Podcast, a daily podcast covering the best in theatre and comedy from the world’s largest arts festival.
The top and tail of each show will include adverts for various parts of The Stage’s publishing activities. I’ve made the first, which heads up Friday’s first full episode, to promote The Stage Podcast, using excerpts from some recent interviews:
The excerpts are, in order:
- Sally Lindsay, talking with Neil Bartlett about the Manchester International Festival about Everybody Loves a Winner
- Arthur Smith, who talked about his autobiography, My Name is Daphne Fairfax
- Omid Djalili, interviewed just prior to taking over as Fagin in Oliver!
- Daniel Dae Kim, the star of Lost who played the King of Siam in The King and I
- Suranne Jones, who I interviewed about Unforgiven (although the clip concerned mentions her role in Coronation Street
- And we finish with a great quote from Arthur Smith again.
The Stage Podcast is available in iTunes, as is the Edinburgh Fringe Podcast.
