It is broadcast live-to-satellite each Saturday morning in front of a theater audience from one of several San Francisco Bay area venues. The show is carried on NPR stations from coast-to-coast, and in Paris, France until 2018. Occasionally, the show will travel to various theaters, music festivals and film festivals throughout the northwest.
