Podcast appearances and mentions of walt mcgough

Mirrorbox Theatre continues its weekly “Out The Box” streamed series with  alive reading of “Chalk” by Walt McGough.

This week, we're thrilled to have special guest Walt McGough with us to investigate a deeply un-special topic, Gamergate. A truly horrifying slice of recent internet history, Gamergate describes a string of targeted abuse leveled at people (mainly women, nonbinary folks, and POC) who dared to challenge the glaringly obvious veins of sexism running through the games industry. We cover figures such as Zoe Quinn, Brianna Wu, and Anita Sarkeesian, who endured levels of bullshit we can barely fathom to speak their minds. Update your social media passwords and get ready to stay horrified.

Wrapping up the first season of Some Small Magic, we hop back into the Boston episodes to talk to playwright and dramaturge Walt McGough about the evolution of Boston's theatre scene, Sideshow Theatre and how to fake it 'til you make it, learning the world and the self through playwriting, and trying to make the unreal on stage. I do a bad job of introducing Walt's plays, but he covers for me and explains them during the interview before talking about their background. If you want more of an explanation, there are synopses on Walt's website: https://waltmcgough.com/plays/   Music by S.J. Roberts: Find more at sjroberts.bandcamp.com.
