Monologue | The Podcast Theater for Emotions, Thoughts and Culture

The theme for today’s episode is: Love. Such a huge theme. Impossible to do it justice, but we’ll try our best. In the following monologues you will get three very different takes on love; from three very unique perspectives. You’ll get to see the dark side of love as well as the hopeful and inspirational side. This will be the last episode of the first season of Monologue. What better way to end the season than to reflect on the driving force that made it possible to begin with. We hope you enjoy.

The theme for today’s episode is: Friendship. Think about your friends. Think about what those relationships mean to you and how they make you feel. The following monologues explore the concept of friendship from different perspectives. There’s the loyal friend who feels utterly betrayed; there’s the one who keeps tabs on favors and gestures; and there’s also the one who is very conscious about the social impact of friendships. All of them, however, carry a piece of truth in them. We hope you enjoy!

The theme for today’s episode is: memory. Where would you be without your memories? Who would you be without your memories? It is often overlooked just how precious our memories can be.

The theme for today’s episode is: advice. Sometimes you want it, sometimes you don’t but you get it anyway. Sometimes it’s good, other times, not so much. Often we determine its value based on two things: content and source. Content is the advice itself; source is the person giving it. The following Monologues play with different combinations of content and source to explore the idea and value of advice. Let’s get started!

The theme for this episode is: Labels. We all have them; smart, lazy, loyal, responsible. Sometimes we work towards earning those labels; sometimes they’re given to us. One thing is for sure - the treatment you get often depends on the label you have. Gay, straight, black, white, male, female. And there’s pride t be found in how much that treatment has changed over time. But labels still fall short of painting a full picture. These monologues will explore that idea.

The theme for this episode is: Vacations. We all need them; and sometimes, we need a vacation from the vacation. Often, however, we don’t really know what we want out of them - other than the much needed escape. The break in the routine. We tend to expect way too much out of our vacations, and this reflects our inability to define what it is we truly want. These monologues explore the complexities that go into going away.

Monologue explores Lies. There are lies we tell, lies we believe, and lies we choose to believe. The pieces in this episode are inspired by concepts in our society that can split public opinion - some believe them to be lies while others simply believe. Our perspective depends on the stories we tell ourselves. And these three monologues offer three different takes on that.
