The Sweaty Oracle Show

Hi! I'm Jonathan (The Sweaty Oracle). I started a tiktok (@sweatyoracle) where I talk about Broadway gossip and tea and through there might be a space in the podcasting world for me to do so in long form! Hope you enjoy baseless spiraling rants everyone else is scared to say about the state of the American Theater. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I'm sorry I took a little break, I've been out changing my life! Today I come to you from a secret location to talk about what politician I'd stunt cast in Hadestown, how the average yearly income of Broadway ticket buyers is more money than I've cumulatively made in the last decade, witnessing how nuts Alice Ripley was on Facebook almost two decades ago, 1970's Australian Cast Recordings of Rock Musicals and why they're superior,...

In this week's episode: Jonathan shares thoughts some podcast exclusive theatre tea, Bob Iger's return, the racism of the Broadway megafans, and the funniest Broadway onstage mishap EVER. Jonathan also has a mid podcast freakout and goes on an expletive laden screaming expedition when discovering a spider on their ceiling while recording. Jonathan also doesn't know why he's typing this in third person.

I want to attach a massive trigger warning to this episode (suicide, mental health, sexual assault): I don't know if I've honestly talked about my story through the theatre and the trauma from the theatre that has shaped my mental health. I hesitate putting this podcast out because I don't know if you're supposed to talk about things this way but I honestly feel like I have very little to lose by clearing my chest for the first t...

On this weeks episode: Jonathan pitches multiple high concept productions of classic shows in hope a wayward producer puts on this god forsaken podcast, hears said ideas, and hires Jonathan to direct them. Jonathan also discusses the worst piece of theatre they've ever seen (the 2018 Broadway revival of Carousel) and much more! This is an episode that's all over the place but this just exist as a raw/real/ranty outpost so it's a...

Sorry for two weeks off, things have been going on behind the scenes! In this episode I am really fired up and really have a lot to say. I rant about the entire current infrastructure of theatre in America. American Theatre, from the top to the bottom, appears to truly be doomed unless everyone decides to stand up and say "we're not allowing this any longer."

Sorry I missed a week! I recorded a very special episode last week that hopefully you'll get to hear next week (I think it'll be worth it!) This week: I will lay down in front of a train for Sara Porkalob, Patti LuPone disingenuously leaves the union, I yell at the BroadwayCon people, and I sing the Diane Paulus Song!

On this episode (ft: much better audio quality) I talk about how racism is allowed on the BroadwayWorld message boards but talking about racists working on Broadway is not, I rant about what you should do when your local theatre won't help you, I talk about how nuts it is that we can change keys for Sutton Foster but not for trans/non-binary performers, and I generally rant about Broadway for another day.

Episode one! I talk about Disney World, Elaine Stritch, and She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named!

    In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
