Welcome to Table Read, where unproduced film and TV scripts come to life with a fresh narrative experience. Founded by Shaan Sharma (Actor on The Chosen), Jack Levy (Sound Designer Battlestar Galactica), and producer Mark Knell, our podcast blends immersive sound design with authentic performances to elevate the traditional table read into an audio drama everyone can enjoy.

​

We believe that great storytelling deserves to be heard, and our process champions the writers who pour their hearts into every script. At Table Read, writers are treated like royalty, and both writers and actors share in the podcast’s revenue—an innovative model that empowers artists while delivering an exceptional listening experience.

Our approach combines the cinematic magic of music and sound effects with the genuine, unscripted moments of laughter and flubs, offering audiences an authentic glimpse into the creative process. Each episode is recorded in a state-of-the-art studio with professional actors, preserving the live energy of a traditional table read while achieving the polish of high-fidelity audio.

​

Table Read is proud to be a trailblazer in the podcasting world. As one of the first major podcasts to partner with SAG-AFTRA under their Independent Podcast Agreement, we prioritize fair pay, residuals, and AI protections for performers. Our commitment to ethical practices has helped us attract top-tier talent and create a platform where great scripts can shine.

Since launching in 2023, Table Read has consistently ranked in the Top 10 Fiction Podcasts on Apple Podcasts, averaging 200,000 certified downloads per week.
