PRIDE & PREJUDICIAL TREATMENT - Adventure Department S2E3

11/13/2023
Things went awry this week because Michael got absorbed in his novel (metaphorically). Then we all got absorbed into it (literally), and transported back to 1814, where the Bonnet sisters in Middle-Bridge-a-Marchington urgently need to find three husbands. Turns out manufacturing love is harder than it seems in the books. With special guests Beatie Edney and Alfred Enoch.

SCREECH (a live halloween episode) - Adventure Department S2E2

10/30/2023
A special live episode, from the Buxton Festival Fringe! We were just planning to record a quick episode on our way to a Halloween party, but that has been complicated by Michael's deep-seated fear of Old Hallow's Eve. Which, in turn, has been complicated by the masked figure chasing us with a kitchen knife. Peter De Jersey is a guest in this episode, and joining us live onstage is comedian Rob Rouse!

Introducing... Three's Company's ADVENTURE DEPARTMENT

6/25/2020
Three's Company's new podcast is an honest look at a life in the theatre, and any quests or missions we go on should be completely ignored, regardless of the genre. Maybe we shouldn't have called it Three's Company's Adventure Department, come to think of it... "Episode 1: The Quest For Dryland" will drop on July 3rd, at 7pm. ..
