Stage Combat The Podcast
Stage Combat the Podcast is a powerful and eye-opening exploration of the dark side of the entertainment industry which also asks the question: how can we make our workplaces better for everyone? Hosted by attorney/advocate/actor Sean Hayden.
In Seasons 1 and 2, Sean Hayden took the listeners into his own harrowing workplace nightmare in the style of a "true crime podcast." Now, Stage Combat the Podcast, in Season 3, is a riveting platform for entertainment workers from everywhere to come together, to share their own stories and to advocate for themselves and for change.

One Episode/One Listener: Pamela
BONUS EPISODE! "One Episode/One Listener: Pamela"
We had an amazing idea for a podcast episode. What if you could overhear a raw, honest conversation between Sean and one listener. In one episode.
Meet Pamela Bob. She's a veteran of several Broadway shows who reached out to us once the podcast was released to let us know how much the podcast has meant to her. Pamela and Sean started talking, and then they just kept talking. About what's seriously wrong with our industry: Being denied a voice. Bullying. The imposition of "family" constructs. Being labeled "difficult." The lack of mental health support in our workspaces.
And it's quite a conversation!
Spoiler Warning: "Relatively" spoiler free for Seasons 1 and 2.
