Fin Ross Russell begins his month as the podcast's theatre correspondent by speaking. to ‘Brown Boys Swim’ Director John Hoggarth. They cover everything there is to know about Oxford’s finest offering at this year’s Fringe including the awkwardness of adolescence, needing to see it to be it and the many faces of masculinity.

Joining us in our Edinburgh studio as the Fringe begins is Aliya Kanani. She's making her Edinburgh debut with "Where You From, From", a stand-up show that takes you on "a turbulent journey around the world with tales of fitting in, sticking out and standing up." As well as introducing the show, she chats with Ewan about how the Fringe feels to a Canadian, why she records every single performance, and what it means to finally bring this show to the Fringe.

A year has passed since we were last here at the Edinburgh Fringe, but for many it feels like we left Edinburgh in 2019 and are only returning now. However long the wait, the wait is over as Fringe 2022 gets under way here in Edinburgh. Ewan and Fin Ross sit down to talk about their love of the Fringe, what to expect over the next three weeks, how the podcast is going to work, and our first batch of recommended shows.

Dave Johns started out in the comedy clubs of the UK almost thirty years ago, and his career includes appearances in award-winning films, TV panel shows, arthouse projects, and the occasional appearance on the West End stage. For his return to the Fringe, he's bringing it all back down to a man, a microphone, and "some funny stuff". Ewan sits down with Dave to find out more about his career, his approach to life, a mysterious bunny rabbit costume... and a chiming clock.

Our previews of the 2022 edition of the world’s biggest arts Festival continue as we turn to the theatre side of the Fringe. Fin Ross Russell talks to ‘Bogeyman’ director Emily Aboud about misconceptions around voodoo, the Caribbean definition of a play and why the Haitian revolution is the most important historical event that nobody knows about.

With just under two weeks to go until the official start of the Edinburgh Fringe 2022, our podcast has lined up some interviews to preview the Festival. Coming up next week we'll be speaking to comic Dave Johns about his show 'A Comic's Tale', and director Emily Aboud about 'Bogeyman'.

To begin, we're going to start off with a great friend of the podcast. Daniel Cainer started at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2005 (just as this podcast did). Ewan talks to him about his 2022 show 'More Jewish Chronicles', the emotional power of music, and how he ended up writing our unofficial theme song.

Welcome back to The Podcast Corner’s Edinburgh Fringe Show. With the Edinburgh Fringe coming returning after a limited programme in 2021, the Edinburgh Fringe Show returns to the podcasting and radio world.

This episode is all about two big topics. The first is "does everything work?" It's been a few years since we used this feed to its full potential, so it makes sense to do a public check before everything gets hectic.

Secondly, it's for all of our followers to see that The Edinburgh Fringe Show is coming back, what to expect, and when to expect it. We have three preview shows with guests from the world of theatre, comedy, and music; there will be weekly shows every Saturday during the Fringe, and there may be some surprises mid-week as well!

Dear Edinburgh, let's do this one more time...

Following the Edinburgh Fringe in 2019 the world… changed, especially for those in the live arts and those covering the arts. With no Edinburgh Fringe in 2020, the show moved into hiatus.
