Ep 0: Testing... Testing... Is This Thing On?

from Should the Show Go On? · host Simone Damberg Würtz

Welcome to Episode 0 of Should the Show Go On?  Maybe it's a pilot, a sound check, a tech rehearsal, and arguably a questionable life choice.Joining me is James Müller, partner, fellow dancer, and the person who somehow gets roped into all of my ideas before they've been properly thought through. Together, we attempt to record the very first episode of this podcast from our home, with varying degrees of success.We chat about what Should the Show Go On? might become, why I wanted to start it, and what stories are still to come. Along the way, there are a few technical mishaps, some accidental chaos, and plenty of evidence that two dancers probably shouldn't be left alone with microphones.This is very much the beginning. I'm hoping to find a proper recording space soon and start inviting guests from the dance world to share their stories of mishaps, mayhem, resilience, and everything in between. But every show has to start somewhere, and apparently, this one starts in our living room.A huge thank you to the Abderrahim Crickmay Charitable Settlement. Without their support, this podcast simply wouldn't exist. Their generosity has helped make it possible to focus on creating good conversations (and hopefully better sound quality), which is also why you'll hear no adverts here.Enjoy the chaos. The show, somehow, has begun.
