Hello there! 
I'm looking for some Broadway-themed podcasts for my long, long commutes. Talking about current shows, revisiting classic musicals, even show-specific ones sound great. Any recommendations? 

I just downloaded a Billboard on Broadway episode, I hope it's great.

Thanks in advance!

I love Broadway Backstory! It looks at a show from conception to opening on Broadway. They only have one season so far but they've covered great shows like In the Heights and Fun Home. I highly recommend it.

Theater People, Broadwaysted, Rory O'Malley's Living the Dream.

The SDCF Masters of the Stage podcast has some great episodes with Directors. Anne Bogart moderates a lot of them.

I really like The Ensemblist. Stories about shows from the point of view of the chorus members.

By far, the best Broadway podcast is "Behind the Curtain: Broadway's Living Legends"

 

You will be engulfed in hearing about all of these shows from years' past from the creators and artists behind the shows. And every Thursday, they have their "Favorite Things" special where they talk about a Broadway artist, show, influence, etc. that needs more love. Like this past week was Woman of the Year and Kean.

"In 1" is a podcast that does uncut interviews with theatrical designers. It's not Broadway specific, and it can veer a little towards the technical, but there are some amazing interviews with lots of Tony winning and nominated designers. Darron West's (tony winning sound designer for Peter and the Starcatcher) is particularly fascinating.
