Thompson’s Live is the CG&Co podcast, focusing on theatre and on performance beyond the borders of theatre.
We’ve now embarked on our third season, having done two series in 2012 and 2013, in front of live audiences: the first, at Stoke Newington International Airport in London; the second, on the road throughout the UK. These two series remain available for your listening pleasure.
The third season, meanwhile, alters the format: hour-long conversations with individual theatre makers and allies (or occasionally with maybe two people from the same company or project), without the live audience.
If you have any comments you’d like to make about the podcast please email us: [email protected]
Our new theme music is ‘Strange Sense of Liberty‘ by The Strange Sounds Orchestra.
Thanks for listening.
