The Pink Podcast brings together leading figures from theatre, arts and culture discussing the issues that matter. In the wake of Windrush and the Post Office HORIZON scandal, the value of the arts, and theatre in particular, have been brought into sharp relief; TV drama has brought complex issues to the fore with people focused storytelling created by people whose background and training was in theatre.
The Pink Podcast will publish new episodes fortnightly, and feature leading figures from theatre, arts and culture discussing the issues that matter. With Sofi Berenger, Executive Producer at Kings Head Theatre, I was lucky enough to be one of the first guests on the inaugural podcast.

The second episode looks at the importance of sustainability, talking to Theatres Trust director Jon Morgan; Oli Savage, co-founder of The Greenhouse – the UK’s first zero-waste theatre company; and contemporary artist Ozlem Thompson who strives to be sustainable in her practice.
This episode talks about Theatre Green Book UK, how small changes can make a big difference and how organisations can try to be more sustainable.
Future episodes will cover first theatre memories with Su Pollard, women in the arts, the Edinburgh Fringe, shining a spotlight on LGBTQIA+ stories, restoring historic spaces, collecting art, and accuracy versus entertainment in adaptations.
