    Act Seven - Jukebox Juliet w. Molly Daniels

    Act Seven - Jukebox Juliet w. Molly Daniels

    This week we put on our pearls, polish our opera glasses and dive into the West End madness that is the Max Martin jukebox musical '& Juliet, a camp romp that "answers" the question as to what would happen if Juliet didn't end her life at the end of the original play; certainly not going to therapy, apparently. Joining on this adventure is writer, director, actor and podcaster Molly Daniels, with whom we discuss queer representation, accessibility, how media exploits "queer pride" and "girl power" and trolls ... the Justin Timberlake one ...

    Act Five - All The Worlds a Fan-Fiction w. Michelle Melky (One Shot)

    Act Five - All The Worlds a Fan-Fiction w. Michelle Melky (One Shot)

    This week we dive head first into the world of fandom and shipping with Michelle of the One Shot podcast, and discuss how tropes in fan-fiction writing and the academia around Shakespeare contributes not only internalised misogyny and odd AU fics, but on a more positive note, a deep love of One Direction!
