Did you know you can listen to BSR, as well as read it?

If you're about to read our review of Philadelphia Theatre Company's Choir Boy (it's a rave), you'd probably also enjoy BSR Podcast host Darnelle Radford's interview with director Jeffrey L. Page, who shares why he loves being back in Philly. We also love Darnelle's conversation with BSR team member Gabby Kaplan-Mayer and her 16-year-old daughter, who grew up on Hamilton, but just discovered RENT.
