In this, the penultimate episode, Jim and Glen respond to some listener feedback and address the age-new question: Which is better, working onstage or backstage? With their combined experience, they finally come to a definitely definitive conclusion that you’ll have to hear to believe! Or maybe they don’t! I mean, really, does anyone read these descriptions anyway?

Also, blah blah website, backstage.link, and blah blah voicemail or text, 267-225-8869, or don’t, whatever. I’m not your mom.

In this episode, Glen and Jim squeeze in a few important topics that have been on their radar for a while: costumes, makeup, and props. Discover why these are essential elements of any production… and possibly why they haven’t been covered in a previous episode!
