United States2 months ago Don't sleep on this one. I never thought I'd be interested in Shakespeare, but the hosts relate his plays to history I never would have realized they were connected to.

One star knocked off because you both said how excited you were that “President Elect Biden was announced yesterday.” That didn’t age well, huh? And also because I found the same info verbatim on the Royal Shakespeare Academy website that I heard here. As a compliment, these girls seem to authentically enjoy Shakespeare’s content for the genius it construes. But some history is presented here as authoritative that is not reflected in the consensus of historical accounts as definitively known.

Canadaa year ago I love this podcast as it is accessible while still being intellectual and engaging. I love all of the contextual information surrounding the “isms” and even as a HUGE Shakespeare nerd, they have taught me things I didn’t know! Huge recommend!
