Whispers in the Wings Podcast Returns for Season 3 | Hosted by Joshua Broadbent
After two years away from the mic, the Australian theatre podcast Whispers in the Wings has returned with a brand-new season celebrating the people who make live performance possible.
Hosted by Joshua Broadbent, Whispers in the Wings shines a light on the creativity, collaboration, and craft behind the curtain. The first episode of Season 3, released on Friday 10 October 2025, sees Josh share what he’s been up to over the past two years and reflect on life both in and beyond the theatre.
A Fresh Season of Stories and Insights
New episodes will drop every three weeks, featuring candid conversations with artists and professionals from across the theatre industry — both in Australia and abroad. Each episode dives into the stories of those who bring the stage to life, from stage managers and producers to designers and directors.
The first three guests to join the season are:
Catie Murphy, who shares her journey through live entertainment and creative production.
Dale Norris, discussing sustainability, event operations, and the importance of team wellbeing.
Evan J Lawson, exploring the role of artistic direction and how creative communities thrive.
Listeners can also look forward to the return of Toolbox Talks, a series of short, focused episodes offering practical tips for theatre-makers — from managing tech week to staying balanced on tour.
