talking Parts ep10: Gibbs Cadiz

Gibbs Cadiz talks about theater criticism in the Philippines and the career he’s built around it. Plus, he fields questions in our first Listener Questions portion. You can read his performing arts reviews every Monday in the Philippine Daily Inquirer. He is also Desk Editor for its Lifestyle Section. His blog, "GIBBS CADIZ", can be visited at gibbscadiz.blogspot.com. Many thanks to those who submitted questions. I hope to continue doing Listener Questions for succeeding guests.

ERRATUM: First, verbatim from Gibbs: "ERRATUM: I messed up my dates! Listening again to the podcast I realized with horror that I'd been saying “1993” or “1995” when I had meant a full decade later--2003 and 2005. Very sorry about that. The other inaccurate numbers--like Jenny saying in the intro that I've been reviewing theater for 15 years--all derived from that mistake. No, only for about five. Not her fault; all mine. Mea maxima culpa. Worse, it made me sound much, much older than my 37 years, aargh. This is what I get for hating Math in school. Sorry again for the absent-minded but huge mistake." Now, from me: So, yes, Gibbs has been reviewing theater for about 5--not 15--years. Now, also, if I had a better memory, I should've remembered that in the early part of this decade, I was still encountering Cora Llamas at presscons. What's worse? Hating Math (Gibbs) or becoming senile (me)? So apologies for the oversight.
