Josh Radnor and Noah Galvin discuss bringing new writing to the London stage

Welcome to the WhatsOnStage Podcast!

As we exclusively revealed earlier this year, Josh Radnor and Noah Galvin will star in the world premiere of a new play by Jonathan Caren.

Hit Machine follows two estranged brothers, one a record mogul and the other an aspiring musician. It features original music by multi-Grammy Award winner Ben Harper with direction by Daniel Bailey.

The play was a finalist for the Eugene O’Neill’s 2025 National Playwright’s Conference and selected for IAMA’s New Works Fest and The Working Theater’s inaugural Stage Left Festival.

Radnor and Galvin will both make their London stage debuts in the piece, which will run at Soho Theatre from 8 July to 15 August.

Regular hosts Sarah Crompton and Alex Wood host a weekly series on all things theatrical. News, views, frank exchanges and lists offer an unmissable guide to what’s happening on stage (and in film and on television) now, in the past and in future.

The podcast can be listened to on various streaming platforms – including Apple Podcasts and Audible. Make sure you subscribe so you never miss an episode!
