The Stage Podcast: Edinburgh Festival Fringe Episode 1 with Tim Bano and Lyn Gardner

In the first of our weekly podcasts from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2018, The Stage critic Tim Bano and associate editor Lyn Gardner discuss all the big shows and key issues of the festival.

In Episode 1, they are joined by theatremakers Chris Thorpe and Rachel Chavkin, actor and playwright Yolanda Mercy and The Guardian reviewer Kate Wyver.

Find out what the critics thought of controversial play Ulster American, whether Thorpe and Chavkin manage to navigate Edinburgh’s Royal Mile and be interviewed at the same time, and what Lyn Gardner’s favourite fringe foodstuff is.

The Stage Podcast is presented in association with Charcoalblue and is available on, iTunes, Spotify and Podbean.

Episode 2 will be available from Thursday August 16.
