This is a regular podcast focussing on the performing arts in Canberra.
I've been a local theatre critic and member of the Canberra Critics Circle since 2011, so I’ll talk about the shows I’ve seen and point you to my recent reviews. I review theatre, musical theatre, dance, classical music and the occasional movie. I am also a writer/presenter on Artsound FM community radio. I can currently be heard on my 'Sounds Classical' and 'The Broadway Musicals Yearbook' programs.
I’ll also keep you across significant arts events happening in Sydney and Melbourne and, for those of you planning to travel overseas, I’ll talk about Broadway and West End theatre, too, from time to time.
You can expect me to digress to items and issues from books, movies, Facebook and other online sources that relate to current arts events here. I’m a collector of funny stories as well as scathing reviews from the theatre’s past history and I’ll be sharing these along with occasional grumpy thoughts about things that irritate me about the local arts scene.

Jules y Ren
Vuelve Jules y Ren. Una ficción sonora de crimen, misterio y humor, protagonizada por Michelle Jenner y Carlos Santos.
Ya sabéis cómo va esto: anochece en la gran ciudad y las calles se llenan de lobos y de detectives ansiosos por llevarse un caso a la boca.
Ha pasado un año desde que Jules & Ren resolvieron todo el asunto de la señora Gloria, y no han vuelto a saber nada sobre el paradero de Pol. Jules está deprimida y Ren trata de animarla, pero parece imposible.
En ese momento suena su teléfono de nuevo: es Marcia, la jefa de policía de un pueblo que les pide ayuda para resolver un caso. Aunque Jules parece no tener demasiado interés en lo que le cuenta, todo cambia cuando le dice cómo se llama el pueblo: Montañas de Dante.
La persona que les llamó para decirles que sabía algo sobre Pol, acabó con un acertijo:
Su querido amigo Pol / se perdió en el inframundo / lo acompaña un italiano / ¿dónde se pierde su rumbo?
Un italiano en el inframundo tiene que ser Dante Alighieri, el escritor de La divina Comedia. Ahí hay un misterio digno de ser investigado.
Jules y Ren deciden ir al pueblo, pero ¿qué se oculta en Montañas de Dante? ¿Y qué tiene que ver Pol en todo esto? Empezamos. Bienvenidos a… Jules & Ren en... Las montañas de Dante. Updated
