Brush up your Shakespeare with co-hosts Charlotte Ahlin and Danielle Cohn as we read and review every single play the Bard ever wrote. Every other Wednesday we bring you unsolicited opinions, goofs, and in-depth discussions about which Shakespeare characters most resemble beloved cartoon cats.

Antony and Cleopatra
Get caught up on our favorite trashy reality TV show, Antony and Cleopatra. We eat a deliciously youthful salad, speculate on which Shakespeare character is getting the most into quarantine baking, and chill with a horny eunuch.

Antony and Cleopatra Part 1
It's everyone's favorite Arrested Development spin-off, ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA. We discuss the Kardashians' infamous rule of ancient Egypt, why Trolls World Tour is the zenith of cinema, and how snake bites are a great opportunity for improv comedy.

Shakespeare in Quarantine
Did you know that Shakespeare wrote King Lear while in quarantine? Or at least, that's the latest from Twitter. Join us as we yell about a tweet, bore you with historical context, and then devolve into an unhinged discussion about Star Trek quotes as we slowly lose our minds. We recorded this a few weeks (eons?) ago, so apologies for any early quarantine naiveté. We were so young back in March!
-
Shakespeare in Love
It's (kind of) Valentine's Day, and we watched SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE! Was it any good? Who knows, we spent the whole time staring into young Joseph Fiennes' big baby eyes. Featuring a jackhammer, clanging pipes, GOOP, and special guest Jamal James, who shames us thoroughly on our lack of rom-com knowledge.
-
Anonymous
Break out your tin foil hat and join us as we watch ANONYMOUS, a truly unhinged Roland Emmerich movie about how Shakespeare was a dirty poor and only fancy boys can write plays! Look out, Oxfordians, we're coming for you.
-
The Winter's Tale Part 2
Surprise! It's still winter! In part two of our discussion on THE WINTER'S TALE, we discuss hawk-based meet-cutes, double disguises, and post-apocalyptic springtime. Featuring TV and film star Margaret Colin, Shakespearean actress Jean Tafler, and an Act 5 mother/daughter reunion.

A Delight
I wish they would bring this back!! I’ve listened to every episode at least three times. It’s my favorite thing to put on as I crochet.
It’s like Shakespeare the way I talk about it 😄
I found this podcast yesterday after doing an All’s Well That Ends Well reading; I was eager to hear more about a play people don’t really talk about. I’ve been binging ever since! This is exactly the kind of Shakespeare podcast I’ve been looking for! Their insights are brilliant and well thought out, but they’re also hilarious and approachable. I don’t know if you ever plan on bringing the podcast back to finish the canon, but if you do, I’ll be here.
Love me some Willy Shakes
I love it! Really fun and funny stuff.
