A special announcement from co-host and founder Jason.

Backstage Buddies

Episode 70 - [Exit, Pursued By A Bear]

Yep, you read it right: we went through the entirety of episode 69 without bringing up the obvious goof. What we do talk about, though, is our current or upcoming rehearsal processes and a slew of listener questions about a variety of subjects. Thanks for all your great questions, listeners; keep them coming!

Episode 69 - We Forgot To Talk About It Being Episode 69

We're back with another whimsical opening! After that, Jason and Joe talk about some shows they've been consuming lately, their opinions on the modern "couch play," and a slew of listener questions, including the triumphant return of the Scott Campbell Ramble.

Episode 68 - On A Roll With Honor Roll

Fair warning: we go off the rails in the first 45 seconds or so, but we bring it back by the end with lots of meaningful discussion, including a slew of questions from one particular listener! Before that, we talk about the things we've been consuming, like Bojack Horseman, Mary Poppins Returns, Dragon Ball Super Broly, and It's a Wonderful Life.

Episode 67 - Egg Bun

Joe is back from his trip, so he rejoins Jason in the studio for the new episode! This week, we talk about Joe's recent trip to NYC, Jason's experience at a recent NEO theatre community event, some musings on theatrical opportunities they'd like to see in the area, and then wrap up with a listener question regarding company models in theatre for the modern age.

Episode 66 - Garbage Gonna Garbage

Join Jason and special guest Sarah Coon this week for a special treat: What My Wife Watched! This week, Sarah takes Jason through a deep dive of the Lifetime original movie Stalked by my Doctor 3: Patient's Revenge. In classic Backstage Buddies fashion, the content is good, but the audio is bad. Like...actually bad. Like, we-lose-Sarah's-mic-about-15-minutes-from-the-end bad. Sorry in advance.

Episode 65 - What My Wife Watched

Two weeks in a row?! It's almost like this is a real podcast! This week, Jason and Joe talk about the recently-closed production of Shakespeare in Love, the recently-viewed Into the Spider-Verse (spoiler free, don't worry), doing a show during the holidays, and the difficulty/benefit of when art imitates life during a show.

Episode 64 - Forehead Acting

We're back! Again! After a loooooooong hiatus due to Jason's new house, the buddies are back in studio to talk about Shakespeare in Love (the play), all the work of moving and home ownership, juggling multiple responsibilities, breaks they're looking forward to, and a conversation about age representation onstage that leads to what might be their darkest moment of whimsy to date. Welcome back!

Episode 63 - How Long Oh Lord

Some podcast episodes have good endings and some have bad. This one...well, it's certainly unexpected! This week, Jason and Joe talk about what they've been consuming, including Spider-Man and Ray Bradbury, then they talk about the upcoming/ongoing productions of Treasure Island and Dracula before answering some audience questions.

Episode 62 - Do Not Squish

We're back from our hiatus, Buddies! This week, Jason and Joe talk about some of the reasons for our long break, everything that they've created and consumed in that time, and more! Plus, it's that time of year, so tune in for your update on Joe's yearly Monster Watch!

Episode 61 - Peter Cushing Is In It

We're back again! This week, Jason and Joe talk about the current production of Romeo & Juliet with Ohio Shakespeare Festival, it's accompanying Greenshow, and the struggle of work-life balance in the theatre. Plus, they create a new character who has all the nuggets you need, guv'.

Episode 60 - Nuggets

It's tech week for R&J, so if we say we're tired...we mean it. Joe and Jason talk about how tech has gone so far as well as upcoming challenges for the coming week, then spend a long time talking about whatever comes to mind at the request of a faithful listener.

Episode 59 - Triple - Dig In The Listens

We're back again! This week, Jason and Joe spend a lot of time talking about their beverages of choice before digging into a discussion about stand-up comedy and "guilty" pleasures. Thanks for your patience; we're back with a vengeance.

Episode 58 - La Croix And Kombucha

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...BACKSTAGE BUDDIES! This week, we talk a lot about Star Wars including a spoiler-free discussion on Solo and a rousing chat about why the prequels are popular again. Then we talk about why we're tired, the upcoming summer season with Ohio Shakespeare Festival, and some audience questions. Plus, Joe misses the point of having a gun in a spear fight.

Episode 57 - Spear And Gun

The boys are back in town! Joe has finally returned from his artistic New Hampshire adventure and rejoins Jason to talk about Hamlet, the myriad of things they've been consuming, and Avengers Infinity War at the end. We go a little long this week, but that's because we have a lot to catch up on, so enjoy!

Episode 56 - Like Batman Forever

Welcome to Backstage Buddies, a podcast about two theatrical performers and the Art they create and consume!
