“Original cast recordings of important Canadian plays. With theatrical runs being so short and often unavailable to those outside urban areas this is an incredible asset for theatre lovers.”

“Wonderful as always. Except for the reference to chronic fatigue, did you mean chronic fatigue syndrome? (Now known as M.E.?). Or did author really mean the singular symptom of chronic fatigue (many causes). I always correct people who drop the ‘Syndrome’, as the two are different things. I guess...”Read full review »

“Canada lost its radio plays on CBC. PlayME picked up the slack and took it to a new level. Amazing sound quality, and true theatre people behind it. PlayME is a joy to hear when I catch it on the radio or on demand, and is a big pick-me-up for the theatre community.”

“Loving Crawlspace but the sound effects are so heavy handed- the slurping and swallowing of tea every few minutes is so gross I almost want to turn it off! Crazy loud.
But this podcast is a lifesaver when you can’t read anymore but can’t sleep either. Better than an audiobook too. Can’t wait to...”Read full review »
