1 DAY AGO

Dickens

Today we embark on a very important journey. In this age of mis- and dis- information; deeply solidified opinions based on hearsay and hope; armchair internet philosophers and W W DOT DOLTS - we are going to dispel a widespread misnomer.
NOV 13

Caked

Today we travel once again back to ancient Rome, for a tale of ridiculous wealth, hyperbolic flattery, and brazen social climbing so relentless that we come to realize that being surrounded by sycophants really isn't all it's "caked" up to be... I mean "cracked" up to be.
NOV 6

Bloodstained

Today, I'm afraid we dip our toe back into the murky pool of crimson carnage.
OCT 30

Birthplace

Today, a tale of stubborn pride, spectacular self-sabotage, and some rather bad PR.
OCT 23

Critic

It's always a good thing to keep oneself in check, making sure not to over-estimate our abilities and get a little too big for our "britches" (or "boots" for our U.K. listeners).
SEP 11

Assassination

Today we undertake the arduous journey into the regicidinal realm of Uncle Will's tale of Scottish witchcraft, ghosts, and marching forests.
SEP 4

Gnarled

Today we take a rough, twisted, and knobbly journey into Uncle Will's tale of power, hypocrisy, and moral dilemmas.
AUG 28

Discontent

Comfortable? Gratified? Pleased and satisfied? Well, good. One can think about being content in many different circumstances.

This is a bright set of little nuggets. Each one brings the humor and playful aspects of Shakespeare to the fore, and it makes you feel smart.

Like fingers thumbing back through once-read then forgotten pages, this series delights, as it brightens a bit or our perspective on modernity. I feel at once wittier than before, having gleaned Qarie Marshalls well-spoken morsels. Never shall the choice to utter “oysters”, “glistering gold” or “green with envy” be considered in quite the same way.
Interesting, concise, approachable, and entertaining.

Mr. kaneko

I always felt a little intimidated by Shakespeare. This podcast is a perfect dose of information presented in a friendly and witty way. It’s neat to hear how something written so long ago has remained a part of our culture and language through the centuries. It’s a bad day if you don’t learn something new.
