    #28 - Mac MacDaniel - Star Trek to Shakespeare

    This episode with Mac was so fun to do. We talked about his journey from being an avid Star Trek fan and how that experience lead him into the amazing world of Shakespeare. Mac talks about his experiences of reading Shakespeare, watching Shakespeare, and even acting out Shakesperian plays. He decided to start his own Shakespearian company which is called "Elsewhere Shakespeare" and is based out of Richmond, Virginia.
