The other day I had coffee with Michael Gilboe who founded and runs Broadway Bullet, a fabulous new theatre podcast. He's got a great studio in midtown where he records his interviews. Michael does all the interviews and has one of those great deep radio voices.

One of the things that makes Broadway Bullet special is that it works like an "audio magazine" with "chapters" that allow the listener to easily skip around the show.

Right now the interviews are focusing on shows in (or associated with) the 2006 New York Musical Theatre Festival, such as GUTENBERG THE MUSICAL, [title of show], PAISLEY SISTERS CHRISTMAS SPECIAL, BLUE LOU AND THE BULLYFISH, and SCHOOL DAZE. It's a great way to get a better idea of what the shows are like because Michael chats with both the authors and some of the actors in the show. They also play a couple of songs from each show to give you a musical taste.

Michael has some great big name guests lined up for after NYMF is over -- maybe I can convince him to let me interview Donny Osmond on his show [sigh]...
