Love it!

I am a ballet dancer and I love the episode about ballet myths. I have only listened to this podcast for a little bit but love it.

A peak behind the curtain!

Mr. B's biography by Jennifer Homans opened the door to a whole new world of ballet to me, after I've finished reading it, it sparked so many questions about the legacy of Mr. B, the stories behind some of his best ballets and how NYCB has been doing nowadays. It was a little disappointing that in the book, many of Mr. B's most successful ballets are just briefly mentioned by name without must further details about their behind-the-scene stories and the dancer's own experiences. This podcast is a gem, it gives me an opportunity to hear not only about the dance, but also the voice from the artists inside the business, and I really appreciate it.

Sound quality

I love this podcast but sound quality really needs improvement. It’s very difficult to hear unless my volume is turned way, way up. The other podcasts I listen to come across with more clarity. Can you work on that? Thanks— I don’t want to miss a word.

Wonderful

My favorite is the Rosin Box but I love all of the episodes. I love to hear about the music, the choreography and choreographers. It’s all great. It’s wonderful that the dancers’ voices are not only guests but also hosts.
