  • The Definitive Shakespeare Podcast

    These two are utterly brilliant and it is a joy to hear them discuss the Bard’s works. If you have any interest in Shakespeare, this podcast is more than worth your time.

    Problematic attitude (language) by male presenter - unfortunate and so disappointing as I enjoy listening to Shakespearean discussions.

    If you ever wanted to get in on what makes Shakespeare fun and interesting this should do it. Get ready to geek out over hidden (and not so hidden) meanings, history, specific performances. In addition to their deep knowledge, the hosts are hilariously authentic and uninhibited. Listen to the first episode and you’ll know if you can handle it.
