Just the best

I have been catching up on old shows for a while now, and it has improved my life immeasurably. I see more beauty, tragedy, and comedy in the world. Thank you!

Has me reading Shakespeare

This podcast is amazing. I started listening a few years ago back with episode one and have been listening consistently ever since. I read the sections that are discussed ahead of time and us I’m giving the reading in and then the fantastic commentary and presentation of the scenes. I’d always want to read more Shakespeare and this has assisted me to accomplish that. Just finished Henry 4 part 2.

Superbly Explained 🤗

I love how this takes the confusing words and plots of Skakespeare and breaks them down into plain English.
I could do without the jarring, annoying music that begins each episode, but hey, we can’t always get what we want.
