Reviews
- Outstanding
This is my favorite podcast of all the podcasts I listen to across many subjects. The insights are unique, thoughtful, well-researched, contemporary. The two hosts clearly show how Shakespeare is still relevant. They make me want to see again Shakespeare plays I’ve seen before because I now can watch with more critical eyes. I look forward to listening every two weeks. It would be marvelous if the two hosts would but their thinking into a book.

This podcast brings together so many wonderful sources and presents them in ways that make Shakespeare (who I used to be deathly afraid of!) easy to understand and way more interesting than I could have imagined! Kourtney and Elyse are such good hosts! I could listen to them for hours. Actually...I guess I have!
Apple Podcasts5Not a Batfan but...United Statesa year ago - Great but not super accurate
Very well researched in terms of Shakespeare, but when it comes to general history, the hosts speak very authoritatively about things they are getting wrong. For example, Henry VIII only had one of his wives executed for not producing a son - the other was beheaded for suspicion of adultery. And none of his wives was ever accused of witchcraft in their lifetimes. That was made up later in the 19th century. So maybe just skip the intro episodes and dive right into the plays.
Apple Podcasts4HPFan543United Statesa year ago - Indispensable Resource!!!!!!
This podcast is AMAZING! It’s been hard for me to find ways of really diving into Shakespeare plays other than just having a teacher who knows a lot. This goes way past the “what is iambic pentameter?” level to really digging into cultural context, history, and just endlessly fascinating knowledge on each show. It’s also easy to follow, and I’m glad I’m not having to read stuff like “Demonology” on my own haha. The content is well researched and very thorough with lots of interesting perspective... more
Apple Podcasts5lordyvoldymortyUnited States2 years ago - Accessible and educational
This podcast takes an in-depth look at Shakespeare through a ton of different lenses. It is well-researched and they cite their sources giving listeners the chance to further explore topics. But they keep information presented in a clear and easy to access way. A must listen for anyone who loves Shakespeare.
