What it's like going to the theatre with Michael Billington? (Answer: you get to see him run.) How do we make sure readers in the north-east aren't swamped by write-ups from the south-west? (Answer: by some mind-bending jigsaw work with different editions of the paper.) How on earth does Lyn Gardner manage to zig-zag so energetically between Bath, Bristol, Ulverston, Sheffield, Newbury, Croydon and Hemel Hempstead to catch the latest shows? (Answer: God only knows, particularly seeing as she lives in Surrey.)
All is revealed over on Comment is Free, our brand-spanking-new collective comment project, part of which is an editors' blog breaking the seals on the inside workings of the Guardian.
A hot topic at the moment is arts reviews: who puts the page together, when critics write for it, how we decide what (and what not) to review. Imogen Tilden, supremely industrious reviews editor - and formerly, we modestly add, of GU fame - lifts the veil and exposes all our darkest reviewing secrets.
It's a great read. Particularly the tale about the theatre that burst into flames with one of our reviewers inside it.
