Final show
I cried listening to Brad’s final interview. Taken from us much too soon. Thanks, Juliet, for the beautiful send-off.

Real + Honest
Love Brad's take on shingin the spotlight on the ensembles that make EVERY Bway show possible. The conversations are super enlightening- Definetly binge worthy!

Disappointing
I love some of the other podcasts (like the Ensemblist) that feature those who keep Broadway together, but this one isn't as interesting to me. I've listened to the interviews for those I really really love, even though the sound quality is often horrible, but I'm done with it now.

My favorite theater podcast
I think what I like most about Broadway’s Backbone is that it doesn’t shy away from the difficulties of getting to, being on, and staying on Broadway. Guests get real and dig deep. This fantastic podcast goes beyond the Peggy Sawyer fantasy and gets at the heart of what it means to be a working actor in New York.

So informative and Entertaining!
Brad Bradley's podcasts are just incredible! There are takeaways for everyone from each of the podcasts. I highly recommend them to performers who want to strengthen their craft, to directors, choreographers, and music directors for excellent insight, and for really anyone who has a love for the Arts! I love the insider information shared and the personal triumphs of the guests! Brad's way of interviewing these amazing performers and legends is done with such ease. I don't normally listen to podcasts, but I am an avid fan of these!

Love it!
I pleasantly discovered this podcast after Charlie Williams posted on his IG page that he had been interviewed by Brad. As someone who enjoys live theatre (and who also gave it a shot 30 years ago), I've enjoyed every podcast I've heard. It's wonderful to hear about all of the different performers' experiences and I can't think of a better way to honor the members of the ensemble.

A "Must Listen" for aspiring performers!
As a dance teacher whose students often go on to study either musical theater or dance in college, I have recommended this podcast to my students as an essential tool for the most realistic and helpful information they can get to help prepare them for what's ahead. Brad's questions provoke thoughtful and candid responses from his guests and their stories are often funny as well as insightful, and ALWAYS filled with little gems of "inside" information that performers cannot learn in any classroom. This should be "required listening" for all musical theater students, and for Broadway fans you will be treated to some great anecdotes by the people who we've had the pleasure of watching throughout their amazing careers.

Low volume. Can't hear! But great podcast
This is a great podcast but the playback volume is so low I can't hear it through speakers or headset at high volume. Please crank it up! I don't want to miss anymore.

A Brilliant Podcast
I've been making my living in theatre for more than twenty-five years. I've been listening to podcasts for about fifteen. Brad Bradley has found a natural fit for himself as a long-form interviewer. If you're a fan of theatre, you're going to love this. If you're a practitioner, you're going to need this. If you're a teacher, you're going to want to share this. Start with the Lisa Gajda interview as a sample of the depth and honesty and inspiration you're going to find in all of these episodes. You're welcome.

Fun and informative
This podcast series is so inspiring! I am a theatreal professional and get so much joy and motivation from these honest truths from people I admire. Each guests shares such humanity and exeptifies that everyone struggles. If the best of the best have insecurities, its okay for me to have them too, So much wisdom I wish I would have known when I was young, but its never too late to learn and laugh.

An inside look to the stage and more
This podcast is a must for theatre lovers and geeks like me. Brad is incredibly charming and engaging with his guests, who give amazing insight to the world of Broadway. I found the podcast through Facebook and thought the concept was fascinating. And very smart. I love everything about Broadway and theatre and though I am not a performer, I can only imagine how much a young person who wants to pursue a career on stage will love this podcast.
