Always more to learn

After all these years, there is still more to learn about the Bard. I echo the positive remarks of the other reviews. This is NOT just for actors, but all lovers of the theater will benefit from this podcast.

In depth and informative

This is a very original and insightful podcast - rich with insight and some unique perspectives on Shakespeare's work. I found this to be an incredible learning tool, and it helped me to better understand, appreciate, and analyze Shakespeare's work more clearly and thoroughly. Jonathan Redding & Phillip Kelly both have such a love and appreciation for Shakespeare's works, and it comes through with every episode. Keep it up guys.
