Reviews
Shakespeare fans, look no further, this podcast is amazing.
Smart discussion, great research, a willingness to take the text to absolutely fascinating places. These guys are fantastic and deserve so many more listeners.
I look forward to each episode, and yeah, they did Edward III, so a five star rating is appropriate just for that. I'm sorry they had to do that, but I hope they know at least one fan appreciated it.

Podcast Addict54 years agoNameNameson- Love the hosts’ POVs on each Shakespeare play
Listening to James and Will discuss each Shakespeare play is the highlight of my week. Their individual POVs are fascinating and fun, especially when they are at odds. I like Shakespeare a lot but these two have really opened my eyes, or rather my ears, to new plays and new facets of plays I thought I knew inside-out. I’m so glad they’re doing this podcast, and I look forward to it each time they discuss another play.

Fun, interesting, and delightfully unrelated to politics.
Apple Podcasts5EMF1990United States5 years ago - Deepening my interest
James and Will have a wonderful format, going from the earliest plays and poems of Shakespeare and engaging the plots, themes and staging issues. I have to confess my interest in Shakespeare is growing with each podcast. They are great to listen to, not academic in tone but academically informed. And they draw parallels with contemporary theater and television. Great and ambitious project, well done!!
