“On Broadway” is a bi-weekly podcast originally developed during my 25+ years hosting a weekly radio program on WRTC-FM, 89.3 in Hartford, CT.
After a brief respite, the podcast was relaunched in June 2019 as a companion to Sounds of Broadway – a 24/7 online Broadway music radio featuring the best in the Off-Broadway, Broadway, and the London stage.
Beginning on Friday, February 14, 2020 each week’s episode will be uploaded every other Friday. You can subscribe via iTunes/Apple Podcasts or download episodes (.mp3) files from our companion website at BroadwayRadioPrograms.com/podcasts.
