The Pink Podcast will feature anything from the arts with an opportunity to hear from leading figures in a conversational way.
The series is hosted by Chloé Nelkin, founder of CNC, an award-winning PR company based in London and Edinburgh.
Each episode will end with Head First – a feature looking at mental health and what each guest is doing to take care of themselves in this frenetic world.
Episode one focuses on the arts in 2024 with guests Sofi Berenger and Sanjit Chudha. As both an in-house and independent producer, Sofi champions new work from all backgrounds. She is Executive Producer and acting Chief Executive at the King’s Head Theatre, which has just opened the doors of its brand-new venue.
Sanjit has just closed the door on a tenure at the Museum of the Home where he was Director of Audiences. Prior to that Sanjit led the rebranding and comms at Talawa Theatre. The episode tackles big questions such as how to develop audiences and looks at grassroots theatre versus blockbuster shows.
The second episode looks at the importance of sustainability, talking to Theatres Trust director Jon Morgan; Oli Savage, co-founder of The Greenhouse – the UK’s first zero-waste theatre company; and contemporary artist Ozlem Thompson who strives to be sustainable in her practice.
This episode talks about Theatre Green Book UK, how small changes can make a big difference and how organisations can try to be more sustainable.
Future episodes will cover first theatre memories with Su Pollard, women in the arts, the Edinburgh Fringe, shining a spotlight on LGBTQIA+ stories, restoring historic spaces, collecting art, and accuracy versus entertainment in adaptations.
The Pink Podcast will release an episode fortnightly with 2-3 guests from Wednesday 10 January on all major podcast platforms.
