Extraordinary
This is quite simply the best podcast I’ve ever encountered—and it is a model for what a podcast can uniquely accoomplish. Robert Price minutely and analytically examines a seemingly narrow subject—the history of actor training in the British drama schools—and in so doing brilliantly illuminates one of the cultural triumphs of the last 120 years (the British theatre). He has managed to interview a large and ever-growing number of the still-living figures and to elucidate (and often unearth) the key texts related to his subjects. His questions are probing and intelligent, his analysis and conclusions are considered and generous. As the former literary editor of the Atlantic Monthly, I can say with some confidence that Price should, of course, develop this rich subject and write a book. But a book, as valuable as it would be, would lack some of the digressive, detailed qualities that make this such a satisfying and stimulating podcast. This is a thoroughly rewarding cultural artifact.
