Reduced Shakespeare Company Podcast

Author and professor Daniel Pollack-Pelzner returns to talk about his new biography, Lin-Manuel Miranda: The Education of an Artist, which charts the growth of the award-winning 21st-century composer, lyricist, and cultural juggernaut, and details the many ways in which "artistic genius is a team sport." Pollack-Pelzner shares how he wanted to write something that would inspire his students; and reveals how Miranda agreed to open up his digital rolodex; how he can cite formative influences going back to elementary school; how early book buyers in the UK can win two tickets to see Hamilton in the West End; and most importantly, he stresses the extreme value of editors, especially if they're related to us. (Length 26:00) The post Lin-Manuel Miranda appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.

✦ The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever is dancing into its 10th year in Atlanta on Saturday, July 26, in Candler Park. City Lights Collective member, Chantelle Rytter, has more on this odd Atlanta tradition that brings Kate Bush and Emily Brontë fans together in a public dance. ✦ Today marks the 5th anniversary of Congressman John Lewis' death. Lewis dedicated his life to advancing the cause of freedom and equality in America and was a towering figure in our country's struggle for civil rights. He inspired countless people, including the band members of the Cabbagetown band, Evan Stepp & The Piners. They recently released a single titled "Good Trouble," and Evan joined us recently to share the story behind the song. ✦ The West End's Portrait Coffee is hosting an event this weekend called "A Place to Play," and City Lights Collective co-host Jon Goode recently sat down with co-founder Marcus Hollinger to learn why play is not a game. ✦ Today, we trace the history of one of Atlanta's most nostalgic institutions: the Science & Technology Museum of Atlanta, or SciTrek. From its grassroots beginnings to becoming a downtown sensation, SciTrek brought science to life for a generation. City Lights Collective member, podcaster, and self-proclaimed history nerd Victoria Lemos recently traced SciTrek's journey through civic politics, fundraising highs and lows, and the love Atlantans still have for the museum today. If you grew up here (or wish you had), this nostalgic deep dive is for you. ✦ You know as well as we do that there is always a plethora of things to do in Atlanta, and we have earned the title of "The Cultural Capital of the South." Mike Jordan, senior editor at the AJC, and Sammie Purcell, associate editor at Rough Draft Atlanta, know this well too. They join us weekly to share a few of their picks for your weekend entertainment. ✦ ATL Comic Convention is this weekend, and a couple of the stars from the hit saga "Twilight" will be in town to participate. WABE arts reporter Summer Evans spoke with two of the vampires—actors Kellan Lutz and Jackson Rathbone, or for you fangs out there, that would be Jasper Hale and Emmett Cullen, ahead of their appearance at the Georgia World Congress Center.

Today's Lake and Shed framed conversation is about the fourth Cormoran Strike novel, Lethal White. Nick discusses the embedded class struggle in the book and its roots in Rowling's background before dropping the bomb of the real world identity of Jack O'Kent and his unhappy family. John is so taken aback by this revelation that Nick has to prompt the Shed portion of the conversation with a fun history of the Sonia Friedman production of Ibsen's Rosmersholm on London's West End, a show starring Thom Burke as Rosmer and which ended just before Bronte Studios beginning the filming of Lethal White. John explains why Rowling might have had something to do with the teevee C. B. Strike gaining a memorized knowledge of this play before filming the fourth book's adaptation.New to the Lake and Shed Kanreki Birthday series? Here's what we're doing:On 31 July 2025, Joanne Murray, aka J. K. Rowling and Robert Galbraith, will be celebrating her 60th birthday. This celebration is considered a ‘second birth' in Japan or Kanreki because it is the completion of the oriental astrological cycle. To mark JKR's Kanreki, Dr John Granger and Nick Jeffery, both Nipponophiles, are reading through Rowling's twenty-one published works and reviewing them in light of the author's writing process, her ‘Lake and Shed' metaphor. The ‘Lake' is the biographical source of her inspiration; the ‘Shed' is the alocal place of her intentional artistry, in which garage she transforms the biographical stuff provided by her subconscious mind into the archetypal stories that have made her the most important author of her age. You can hear Nick and John discuss this process and their birthday project at the first entry in this series of posts: Happy Birthday, JKR! A Lake and Shed Celebration of her Life and Work.Tomorrow? Another work with Rowling's name on the cover that is the not the work she wrote! Nick and John take a Lake and Shed long look at the second screenplay for the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them film series. On the Lake side of things, Nick explores the Johnny Depp casting scandal and the lead-up in 2018 to the 2019 Tweet Heard Round the World. John explains that the cut scenes from this dog's mess of a movie point that the shooting script, i.e., what Rowling wrote and approved before David Yates butchered the film in the editing room, was all about Leta Lestrange. More important, John makes the Shed point that every Rowling book features a text of some kind that the characters struggle to understand — and that Crimes of Grindelwald has ten of these, a veritable library of interior texts to interpret.Links to posts mentioned in today's Lake and Shed conversation for further reading:* Henrik Ibsen's ‘Rosmersholm'* Every ‘Rosmersholm' White Horse Reference (Odd Sverre Hove)* London Production of Rosmersholm: Starring Tom Burke (Cormoran Strike)* London Production of Rosmersholm (2): Starring Tom Burke (Cormoran Strike)* The ‘Reading, Writing, Rowling' podcast on Lethal White (Kathryn McDaniel, Louise Freeman, Beatrice Groves, John Granger)* The Top Ten Things We've Learned About Lethal White Since Publication Day* The Three Things about J.

In this episode, Neil delves into the world of scams that both guests and hosts may encounter in the Airbnb community. Drawing from his decade of experience, Neil shares personal anecdotes of his own encounters with scammers, including a guest who attempted to exploit his trust and another who falsely claimed to be bitten by bedbugs. KEY TAKEAWAYS Scams are deliberate tricks designed to deceive individuals for personal gain, often involving urgency and false promises. Recognising the signs of a scam can help hosts and guests protect themselves. Building trust with guests can sometimes lead to vulnerability. A host shared an experience where a trusted guest took advantage of their goodwill, highlighting the importance of being cautious even with repeat guests. For any issues that arise, it's crucial to communicate through the Airbnb platform. This ensures there is a record of conversations, which can be vital for resolving disputes and protecting both hosts and guests. Guests should be cautious of misleading listings and fake accommodations. Always look for verified badges and read reviews to ensure the authenticity of a listing before booking. BEST MOMENTS "At the heart of every scam is the same thing. Deception for personal gain." "Sometimes a scam isn't a high-tech con or an identity theft operation. Sometimes it's just someone playing the long game, winning your trust one payment at a time." "If I'm doing all the cleaning, why am I paying you to do it? That's not a cleaning fee, that's a chore tax." "Always communicate with the other party on the Airbnb platform via Airbnb's message board. Then there is a record of the conversation that Airbnb can be involved with." "I was convinced that he was setting me up to scam me for a free night in compensation for the theft of his trousers."

Kate Trefry is a key creative force behind Stranger Things. Joining the show as a writer in Season 2, she's been with the series for over seven years, and her work has helped shape the mythology, tone, and lore of the town of Hawkins — and all of its beloved (and haunted) inhabitants.Her latest venture takes the franchise into uncharted territory: the stage. Kate wrote Stranger Things: The First Shadow, a theatrical prequel set in 1959 Hawkins that blends psychological horror with jaw-dropping effects.The First Shadow is one of the most incredible theater experiences I've ever had — its a mind-blowing fusion of stagecraft, horror, and storytelling that feels like witnessing real magic unfold in real time. So if you're in New York City or London's West End, run — don't walk. This show absolutely blew me away.In this episode, Kate gets into her career history, including her ten-year struggle in Hollywood after which she was making snowcones before landing the writing gig of a lifetime on Stranger Things. She also dives into her collaborative process with the Duffer Brothers and the extremely challenging, grueling, and fascinating experience of adapting Stranger Things to the stage.On today's episode of The Nick Taylor Horror Show, here — without further ado — is Kate Trefry.Key TakeawaysIgnorance is bliss.Despite having written for Stranger Things for over five years, Kate had never written a play before — and that turned out to be an advantage. Unburdened by the typical constraints of stagecraft, she approached The First Shadow like she would an episode or film: big set pieces, impossible visuals, cinematic pacing. Instead of limiting her vision, the creative team encouraged it — telling her to write whatever she wanted and leave it to them to figure out how to make it work live. The result is a show that doesn't just adapt Stranger Things for the stage — it redefines what live theatre can do.There is no writing, only rewriting.Throughout the development of The First Shadow, Trefry wrote hundreds of drafts. During the workshop and preview process, she sat with live audiences, watching for moments when people shifted, coughed, or lost focus — then made adjustments accordingly. Kate believes the magic starts to happen around draft six — when emotion, structure, and theme finally begin to align. Her process always involves discovery through multiple rewrites, often transforming scenes completely from their original form. For her, the key is getting to the end of your first draft as quickly as possible — so you can start rewriting. And then rewrite again. And again.Authenticity opens doors.Kate's path to Stranger Things began not with a polished pitch, but with brutal, unfiltered honesty. After years grinding in Hollywood, she took a call with the Duffer Brothers and told them point-blank that “Hollywood is a cesspool” and “writing is a nightmare” — not exactly go-to lines for landing a job. But to her surprise, they loved her candor. That authenticity — combined with clear talent — landed her in the Stranger Things writers' room the following week. The takeaway: showing up as your real self, especially in an industry full of rehearsed personalities, can resonate more than trying to be what you think others want.Show NotesMovies DiscussedStranger Things (Netflix)Stranger Things: The First Shadow (West End & Broadway)Behind the Curtain: Stranger Things The First Shadow (Documentary)Game of ThronesThe ShiningHarry PotterLord of the RingsBooks & ProjectsSave the...

Episode 098: Stereophonic by David Adjmi Host: Douglas Schatz Guest: David Adjmi Welcome to The Play Podcast where we explore the greatest new and classic plays. Each episode we choose a single play to talk about in depth with our expert guest. We'll discuss the play's origins, its themes, characters, structure and impact. For us the play is the thing. It is 1976, and a fictional rock band are holed up in a studio in California attempting to record their much anticipated second album. The pressures of an inflated studio budget and raised artistic expectations expose the fault lines in the band's professional and personal relationships. David Adjmi's Tony-award-winning play, Stereophonic, is a fly-on-the-wall depiction of both the magic and the monotony of collaborative artistic endeavour, as the cast recreates the live process of making music, and play out the price they pay for their art and fame. As we record this episode, Stereophonic has opened in London's West End following its triumph on Broadway, and I am thrilled to be joined by the play's author, David Adjmi, to explore his unique creation.

About ‘Ghost Stories' ‘An immaculately crafted evening of entertainment' - Time Out A truly terrifying theatrical experience created by The League of Gentlemen's Jeremy Dyson, and Andy Nyman, co-creator of Derren Brown's television and stage shows. GHOST STORIES mixes the very best of theatre with the buzz of a thrill-ride, delivering something truly unique. When Professor Goodman, arch-sceptic out to debunk the paranormal, embarks on an investigation of three apparent hauntings – as recounted by a night-watchman, a teenage boy, and a businessman awaiting his first child – Goodman finds himself at the outer limits of rationality, and fast running out of explanations. After exhilarating audiences for two years in the West End and across the world with record breaking, sell-out productions and a smash hit film, GHOST STORIES is “Genuine scary fun” (Sunday Times), a worldwide phenomenon more spine-tingling and fantastically terrifying than ever. “I had to sleep with the lights on” (Metro).

Goodbye Sweetberry Park: Josh Green’s New Atlanta Tale

“City Life, Creeping Gentrification and Flesh-eating Snakes:” now that's a gripping tagline! Josh Green, editor of Urbanize Atlanta, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss his new novel, “Goodbye, Sweetberry Park,” which explores gentrification and urban development through the eyes of the fictional journalist, Archie “God” Johnson. From the Rust Belt to Urbanize Atlanta Green grew up in the Rust Belt and describes it as the “polar opposite of the growing Sun Belt population explosion.” As he began to explore the country, he was fascinated by the vibrance and quick growth of Atlanta and many Florida cities. Now the editor of Urbanize Atlanta, Green taps into his passion for urban development every day, providing readers with detailed perspectives on all things Atlanta. Urbanize Atlanta celebrates its fourth anniversary this year. Green said, “You get on the ground with a camera and just really explore the curiosities about what's happening and how it all links together.” Goodbye Sweetberry Park Following the success of his short story collection, “Dirtyville Rhapsodies” and first novel, “Secrets of Ash,” Green released a new novel, “Goodbye, Sweetberry Park,” earlier this year. The novel chronicles the joys and struggles of a fictional veteran journalist covering a chaotic summer in Atlanta. “It's kind of an amalgamation of a lot of different, fun, beautiful, lovely, troubled, historic intown Atlanta places ranging from West End to Cabbagetown,” said Green. “There's Grant Park mixed in, the fictional Zoo and then where I'm living now, Kirkwood and some Oakhurst.” “Goodbye Sweetberry Park” offers a more personal perspective of gentrification in Atlanta neighborhoods. Green says he draws from his experiences as an Atlanta reporter, so this novel serves as his “street-level” perspective on the topic. One of Green's early influences for the novel was an Atlanta Magazine article he wrote, “The Gentrifier.” He detailed his experience in buying a larger intown home for his family and becoming a “gentrifier” in the process. The article went on to win an Atlanta Press Association Award and sparked major conversations about modernization in the city. Green states that the neighborhood transformation that has stuck with him is the Atlanta Beltline. The trails offer alternative transportation, while restaurants and recreation are big influences for tourism to the city. As Atlanta grows and develops, the Beltline is an asset to connect residents to work, home and attractions. What About Affordable Housing? Transit-oriented development is one way that Green sees Atlanta adding affordable housing. Neighborhoods such as Candler Park are already one step ahead, converting unused MARTA parking lots into brilliant housing complexes and retail centers. With convenient proximity to local MARTA stations and rapid bus routes, residents can take transportation out of their monthly budgets, which makes housing more attainable in the long run. Tune in to the full episode to discover more about Atlanta gentrification and Green's experiences as an Atlanta journalist. Order your copy of “Goodbye, Sweetberry Park” on Amazon or at JoshRGreen.com. About Josh Green Josh Green is the editor of Urbanize Atlanta, a popular news site known for its colorful, up-close coverage of Atlanta. In March 2025, he released his second book, Goodbye, Sweetberry Park,” a brand-new story behind “Secrets of Ash,” the first installation in his Peach-State trilogy. “Dirtyville Rhapsodies,” his published book of short stories, was highly acclaimed from the start, named “Best Book for the Beach” by Men's Health and in Atlanta Magazine's “Top 10 Books of 2013.” Podcast Thanks Thank you to Denim Marketing for sponsoring Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio.
