Coriolanus is a guy whose name ends with the word "anus". There's nothing we can do about that.

Our episode on Richard III is more rushed than a usual episode because the play is extremely long. I'd like to come back to it to explore some of the interesting details we skipped. If anyone would like to hear that kind of episode, let us know!

Why do American males feel the need to sound cute& dumb-down in speaking about academics? Should be left for the high school play ground—not university level academics. Two men sounding “Valley girl”.
I’ve read / reread 16 Shakespeare plays during this lockdown and found this podcast to be a welcome break from the academic discussions of these works, which get rather forensic. It’s chatty and openly subjective, not stifled by over-reverence, and well worth a listen.
Bravo! These two gentlemen are insightful and entertaining. I would love to hear your opinions on either As you like it or Love labours lost. Great podcast.
The hosts are enthusiastic and the recording quality is good. But for two guys doing a Shakespeare podcast, they don’t have a lot to say about Shakespeare, not historically or theatrically or in terms of pop culture. So the overall experience is basically like listening to a couple bros in a freshman sem class, which can actually be very charming, and might be a great podcast for some listeners. But it didn’t work for me.
This podcast managed to get me hooked on Shakespeare! The episodes are fun, give you lots of new information and are always very subjective and personal and never „bookish“ or haughty. One of my favourite podcasts - I‘d wish the guys would return!
