    Coriolanus

    Coriolanus is a guy whose name ends with the word "anus". There's nothing we can do about that. If you want to hear about the play, you can listen Here! Some articles on Coriolanus: Revisting Shakespeare's Coriolanus: New York Times T.S. Eliot on Shakespeare

    The Hollow Crown

    It's no wonder everyone suggested we watch Hollow Crown, it's an excellent production. We talk about it Here! The Globe Player is a great source of performances at the Globe Theater. Check it out! Indian version of Hamlet on NYTimes 15 Minute Hamlet

    Richard III

    Our episode on Richard III is more rushed than a usual episode because the play is extremely long. I'd like to come back to it to explore some of the interesting details we skipped. If anyone would like to hear that kind of episode, let us know! Kevin Spacey's interview on playing Richard on stage Ian McKellen's interactive site

    BookClub 2

    To celebrate our third season, we thought we'd make an episode no one was asking for: another book club! The books we talk about: The Science of Shakespeare by Dan Falk The Secret Life of William Shakespeare by Jude Morgan Ophelia by Lisa Klein The Book of William by Paul Collins To Be or Not To Be by Ryan North The Horatio Hornblower series by CS Forester The October Daye series by Seanan McGuire In future episodes we're going to debate the subject, "is Othello about race?" and talking about how to stage Hamlet. Please let us know what you think at shakespearepodcast@gmail.com  Leave the subject name "Othello" or "Hamlet" in the email.

    Hamlet Act V

    This is our 50th episode! The next episode is the beginning of season three, with our second Book Club episode. Hamlet Act V is an odd one, like the rest of Hamlet. Please vote on what you want the next episode to be!

    Hamlet at the Guthrie

    We went to see Hamlet at the Guthrie! Then we made a podcast about what we thought. We also talk about the Patreon campaign to support the podcast. This does not count as an "episode" in terms of Patreon. Just a little bonus! Our next episode is Hamlet Act V, which is also our 50th episode! That will make it the end of season 2 of the podcast, how exciting! After Hamlet, we'll have a vote on what play to do next. We're considering Romeo and Juliet, Coriolanus, Richard the Third, and Henry the Sixth, Part One. If there's something else you'd like to do first, please let us know what you think!

    Hamlet Act IV

    We talk about Hamlet, Act IV. People start dying. I think we're going to do an episode about Polonius Laertes and Ophelia later. Especially considering whether they are necessary to the play. New websites! Tumblr  Patreon Patreon guide: Patreon is a service where people can give money to content creators when they produce something. In this case, people can give money to us when we produce podcast episodes. The money goes to defray the expense of producing and hosting the podcast. You can set limits on the amount of money you can donate. We only produce an episode once a month, so setting a limit of once a month for donations is good. If you only want to donate for a particular amount of time, you can limit the total number of donations as well.

    Patronage

    Our choice of the theme for This Episode was not a coincidence: We're starting a Patreon campaign, so Patronage in Shakespeare's time seemed appropriate. The Patreon page can be found HERE. You can set an automatic donation to the podcast with the release of each new episode. Thanks for everyone's past and future support! Good Tickle Brain Shakespeare Comics. The Life of Shakespeare: Copied From the Best Sources, Without Comment Great source of Shakespearean Primary Documents. Shakespeare as a Groom of the Chamber A good example of Shakespearean research and writing. Our Tumblr
