In the inaugural episode of Soundscapes: The Podcast, host Domenico Pontoriero kicks off the series with a lively and often hilarious conversation with Stephen Riordan, creator and host of Big Broadway Energy.
Stephen—whose show and podcast spotlight theater, visual art, performance, and the creative community of St. Pete—talks about the origin of his brand, the magic of Broadway, and how his work helps keep local artists connected, visible, and celebrated.
The two dive into:
🎭 The evolution of Big Broadway Energy — from its early days as The Stephen Riordan Show to becoming one of Radio St. Pete’s most energetic programs.
🎨 Tampa Bay’s booming arts scene — and the importance of supporting local theater to keep talent in St. Pete.
🎼 The art of the musical overture — why classic musicals used them, why modern ones often don’t, and the shows that still keep the tradition alive.
🍀 The musical Once — how its acoustic, Celtic-inspired sound mirrors the mellow, emotional vibe of Soundscapes’ instrumental selections.
🎶 What inspires music lovers — Stephen’s take on music that “you hear with more than your ears.”
The episode wraps with a preview of next week’s Soundscapes, where Stephen will guest co-host and help introduce instrumental tracks—including selections from Once and other acoustic-forward musicals.
