Welcome back to the first in a new series of Thompson's Live, the fortnightly podcast from Chris Goode and Company focusing on theatre and performance, arts and ideas.
For this first programme in the new season we're the guests of Camden People's Theatre in north London, where the SPRINT festival 2013 is underway.
Chris's guests for this episode are:
Hannah Nicklin, theatre maker / producer, games writer, blogger

Georgina Sowerby, director / actor, co-director, Dirty Market Theatre
Enjoy the show -- and do let us know what you think!
Hello again! As trailed in the last episode, here's a special bonus edition of Thompson's Live, the theatre & cool-stuff podcast from Chris Goode & Company.
This episode isn't like the others, mostly because it's not recorded in front of a live audience at Stoke Newington International Airport -- or indeed anywhere. Chris's guests are:
Maddy Costa, critic, blogger, and co-director of Dialogue
Jonny Liron, performance maker
Harry Gilonis, poet
But what you'll hear is two intercut conversations: one, with Chris talking to Maddy and Jonny, recorded at a restaurant in Stoke Newington on December 12th; the other, with Harry and Chris, recorded in one of the upstairs bars at the Royal Festival Hall on November 24th. The chat with Maddy and Jonny is split into two half-hour extracts (from a nearly three-hour conversation); the interview with Harry can be heard in between.
We hope you enjoy this rather different edition of the podcast. We'll be back in front of an audience, in the standard format, in March.
Happy holidays!
So all too soon we've reached the last of this present series of podcasts from Chris Goode & Company, focusing on theatre and performance, poetry and music, arts and ideas.
The conversation this time is even longer than usual, and yet as ever there's so much more that could have been said: particularly as, unusually, we had a single topic to focus on: namely, the current state of writing for (and not for) theatre.
The three brilliant guests who joined us to think through some of the questions around this strangely fraught territory were:
Chris Campbell, Literary Manager, Royal Court Theatre
Dan Rebellato, Professor of Contemporary Theatre, Royal Holloway University of London
Francesca Lisette, poet
There's also an amazing, longer-than-usual set from Francesca at the end, which you won't want to miss.
There'll be one more episode before the end of the year -- a kind of Christmas bonus, not recorded at STK and not taped before an audience, but still full of big ideas and good conversation -- which should come out around December 18th.
In the meantime, thanks to everyone at the Airport, everyone's who's come along to listen and contribute, and above all our eighteen fantastic guests.
It's a rather dismally truncated episode of Thompson's Live this time, for reasons that Chris explains in the introduction: but there's still a lot to enjoy in the 45 minutes of conversation around theatre and performance, poetry and music, arts and ideas.
The guests for this penultimate live episode are:
Stella Duffy, writer, performer, director
CJ Mitchell, co-director, Live Art Development Agency
Alison Blunt, musician
Hope you enjoy (despite everything!).
