The Making Theatre Podcast was created in June 2020 by UK-based freelance lighting designers James Farncombe and Bruno Poet.

What began as a series of interviews with leading lighting professionals quickly expanded in response to the pandemic, becoming a broader exploration of theatre-making across disciplines.

Each episode features a candid conversation with a different theatre practitioner—from directors, actors, and designers to stage managers, voice coaches, and fight directors—offering a behind-the-scenes look at their work, career paths, and creative processes.

The podcast is designed as a resource for students, professionals, and anyone curious about what really goes into making theatre. Whether you’re new to the industry or a seasoned practitioner, it offers valuable insight into the many roles that bring a production to life.

Available on all major podcast platforms.
