Episode 16 - Hamlet

Save Me From My Shelf

Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. In our sixteenth episode, we examine Shakespeare's most olfactory play. Abby celebrates a strong return of himbos to the podcast, Daniel conceptualises an award-winning Disney+ show, and we discover this is the Bard's only (?) work where someone sh*ts their pants out of love.
