Theatrically Authentic is a behind-the-scenes theatre podcast exploring musical theatre, performance, and fandom through a neurodivergent lens.


Hosted by Autistic theatre-makers Sarah Atherton-Knight and Simon Scott, who have worked both onstage and backstage, the series examines the emotional, structural, and creative realities of making theatre in an industry built around unspoken rules.


From audition culture and masking to hyperfixation, character analysis, post-show grief, and Autistic-coded characters, each episode explores why theatre resonates so deeply with neurodivergent minds.


Blending industry insight, deep-dive musical analysis, and unapologetic theatre kid energy, Theatrically Authentic is for performers, technicians, creatives, and fans who love theatre deeply — and want to challenge how the industry treats the people who make it.


🎧 Theatrically Authentic is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major platforms.

    Welcome to the future home of Theatrically Authentic, hosted by Sarah Atherton-Knight and Simon Scott, from the Autistic Culture Podcast Network.


    This is a temporary placeholder episode while we prepare for our official launch on 22 June 2026.


    The Autistic Culture Podcast Network is a global media network built by autistic creators to document and celebrate the full breadth of autistic lives through podcasts grounded in lived experience, community, and culture.


    Across the network, you'll find conversations about identity, health, creativity, hobbies, relationships, community, special interests, disability, parenting, culture, and much more. Together, our creators are building a space where autistic voices are centred and autistic lives are represented in all their complexity.
