Join us as we share the very best of WA’s arts scene with you in a fast, fun and furious 15 minutes, jam-packed with everything you need to know about what’s coming up in metro and regional WA. 

We’ve been talking about doing a podcast for a long time, and it’s something our readers have been asking for. We know you want to know what’s coming up and our inboxes are always overflowing with information about exciting new shows. So we thought we’d share them with you.
