"Theater Talk" is hosted by New York Post theatre columnist Michael Riedel and producer Susan Haskins.
In a statement co-host/producer Haskins said, "'Theater Talk' was created to share the fun of sitting-in on conversations with smart, witty and outspoken theater people. We're pleased that Playbill Radio will now make it possible for theater fans all-over-the-world to listen in."
