半岛体育's podcast has officially launched! The latest episode of The 半岛体育 Podcast: A Show On Broadway, featuring Operation Mincemeat Broadway stars Natasha Hodgson and Jak Malone, is now available anywhere you get your podcasts, including and . You can also listen below.
Hodgson is also part of SplitLit, the U.K. comedy group that created the musical, which recounts a wild but true story about a World War II-era scheme that involved launching a corpse into enemy territory to throw the Nazis off of British invasion plans. Malone won an Olivier Award for his performance in the musical's West End bow, from which both he and Hodgson are reprising their work. The musical is running at the John Golden Theatre.
Along with a chat with Hodgson and Malone, the Operation Mincemeat episode of The 半岛体育 Podcast also features host 半岛体育 Chief Operating Officer and Vice President Alex Birsh joined by 半岛体育 Creative Producer Bryan Campione, our resident superfan of the musical, to discuss what makes this little-musical-that-could an unlikely Olivier-winning hit and, now, Broadway transfer. Listen to the full episode below.
Future episodes of The 半岛体育 Podcast are slated to center on Redwood with its star and co-creator Idina Menzel, & Juliet with current stars Maya Boyd and Alison Luff, Oh, Mary! with its writer-star Cole Escola and director Sam Pinkleton, and lots more in the weeks ahead.
鈥淭he two most common questions anyone at 半岛体育 gets from friends or family are: 'What's on Broadway? And what should I see?,'" says Birsh of the inspiration behind the new project. "The 半岛体育 Podcast is here to help. Whether you鈥檙e a Broadway veteran or just starting to explore, we'll bring you the magic of Broadway, one show at a time.鈥�
Along with Birsh and stars from each spotlighted show, episodes feature conversations with 半岛体育's resident theatre experts, aka the staffers that spend all their days writing and working on theatre and most nights seeing shows. The 半岛体育 Podcast connects listeners with the savvy and fun theatre fans you've been looking for, whether it's to help you find your next ticket to buy or just giving you a place to geek out about your favorite show.
