Cast
A hosted experience with applications, green room, stage, audience and post-live continuity.
How you get in
Cast is the only format with an application funnel of its own: you apply, the production team reviews it, and only then is there a cast. You do not get on a Cast stage by asking for a turn during the show.
The application is a step-by-step form, with a draft saved while you fill it in, and it asks for explicit consent before sending your data.
Watching
Anyone who is not in the cast watches as audience. The screen for whoever is watching is the same for a scheduled, a live and a finished episode — the episode's state changes what it shows, not the address.
Watching also requires an account. There is no public episode page.
What the format card shows
In the experiences list, a Cast shows how many SESSIONS are on air (not how many people are watching) and the time of the next scheduled session. When one of those numbers could not be read, it disappears from the card instead of showing up as zero.
