Description

Entertainment Matters is a podcast for people who make live entertainment happen.

Hosted by John Blackburn, each episode explores how we create shows, make them successful, and keep audiences coming back.

You’ll hear longer-form interviews with people from across live entertainment and beyond - alongside shorter analysis episodes where John pulls out key ideas and explores how you can start applying them in your own work in live entertainment.

This is for people who care about both the art and the business of entertainment.

No fluff. No hype. Just practical ideas, thoughtful questions, and ways of thinking for the people who keep the lights on and the curtain up.
