Broadway Podcast Network's What's Your Backup Plan?

Fiona is co-producer and host of What's Your Backup Plan?, a podcast that pokes fun at your Aunt Karen's question, "what are you really going to do with your life?" With her co-host, Olivia Valli (Pretty Woman, Wicked, Jersey Boys), Fiona interviews actors, directors, choreographers, musicians, casting directors, and multi-hyphenates who are changing the conversation about what it means to have a fulfilling, sustainable career. Their guests discuss equity and diversity in the industry, pivoting to adapt to changes in how we audition and perform, and creating work that is innovative, inclusive, and thought-provoking.

​

Recent episodes have included interviews with Broadway's Sharrod Williams (Cats, Hamilton, Tuck Everlasting, NEIGHBORS), Nicholas Edwards (Frozen, Les Miserables, The Last Five Years), Meg Zervoulis (Music Director of The Prom, Associate Music Director of Mean Girls, West Side Story), Built for the Stage trainer Joe Rosko, and many more.
