Amateur Hour: the Amdram Podcast

By Amateur Hour: the Amdram Podcast

Amateur Hour explores the weird and wonderful world of amateur dramatics - the highs and lows, and everything in between.

We'll be speaking to people from all across the country, from groups of all shapes and sizes, finding out what makes them tick, and why we put so much time and effort into entertaining the public.

We want this podcast to bring together the amdram community, no matter how expensive your tickets are, how flashy your sets look, and how good your interval refreshments are.

Nothing is off-topic, so let's take a dive backstage and get on with the show!
