  • Talking to Closeted Trump Supporters—Why Theater Must Try

    Talking to Closeted Trump Supporters—Why Theater Must Try
    Sep 2 2025

    Talking to a closeted Trump supporter about politics, inclusion, and what theater needs now.

    In this season finale, I sit down with my longtime friend, Julie D'Alessandro, a Boston-based voice teacher who has long kept her political views private. Together, we have a rare, candid conversation about inclusive theater, conservative voices in the arts, and what it takes to bridge political divides without losing compassion.

    From arts funding cuts to the quiet presence of Trump supporters in creative spaces, we discuss the fear, belonging, and courage it takes to keep listening.

    This one’s challenging, hopeful, and full of hope about how theater can move forward.

    Burnout Is Breaking Us — Here’s the Pivot Arts Leaders Need
    Aug 26 2025

    What if the greatest threat to theater right now isn’t empty seats, but burnout in the arts?

    In this solo episode, I open up about the strain so many artists and leaders are facing, and why creative leadership strategies and even AI might hold part of the answer. From admin overload to outdated business models, I share a vision for tools and systems that center care, equity, and sustainability.

    This one’s candid, urgent, and full of hope.

  • Family Meeting: Race, Theater & Fighting Fires—Onstage and Off

    Family Meeting: Race, Theater & Fighting Fires—Onstage and Off
    Aug 19 2025

    What if the most powerful tool for change in theater isn’t performance, but conversation?

    I sit down with my dad, retired firefighter Fred Cowan, for a candid family conversation about race, theater, equity, and what it takes to build genuine inclusion. From fighting fires in public service to calling out tokenism in the arts, he shares stories of resilience, honesty, and the power of difficult conversations.

    This one’s heartfelt and full of wisdom.

    Enjoy the episode, friends!
