Around the Sun

A scripted, episodic audio drama that explores human connections, made and missed, with an existential flare (and an all-star cast!).

Take a walk take a listen

There is no better walking companion then this podcast. Rich and wonderful characters and the writer can write dialog better than most.

Tasty Complexities

I’ve been listening to this podcast series of short plays since the first three episodes dropped mid October. Nine of them have been broadcast since then with all being both engrossing and thought provoking. Brad Forenza, creator, an actor and writer of the podcast offers up food for thought by invoking the complexities of how humans relate to each other and our complicated existence. He is a very talented writer who artfully pulls you into each story’s narrative. The moment his characters start speaking you can't help, but stay engaged until the conversation ends. What ever your theatrical proclivity, there is something here that most everyone will find tasty.
