Euripides, Eumenides: A Theatre History Podcast
The Theatre History podcast that doesn’t take itself too seriously. For each episode, Aaron Odom hosts a guest from the worldwide theatre community to talk about a bizarre, fascinating and humorous story from theatre history. One catch, the guest has no idea what they’ll be discussing. Plus, guests return to the program to share ”Theatre Horror Stories,” moments when theatre artists maintain that old adage: ”The show must go on.” From events an audience might never realize affected the show to the wheels falling off a production completely, these stories just make for great listening.

Euripides, Eumenides: A Theatre History Podcast
My name is Aaron Odom, and I'm the creator and host of this show. So, what's it all about?
This is the theatre history podcast for people who like bizarre and hilarious stories from history; these just all happen to be about theatre. For each episode, I meet with guests from the many different avenues my theatre career has taken me down, and I give my guests no idea what we're going to be discussing for the episode. All they know is that we'll discuss a strange story from theatre history and perhaps get a better understanding about why we're still doing it after all these years.
