- Thanks for the pod
Public service announcement for anyone listening to King John 101: Circumstantial evidence is sufficient to sustain a claim or defense in a courtroom. It need not be credited, or prevail, if a jury finds other, contrary evidence outweighs it. But the law makes no distinction between circumstantial evidence and direct evidence as suggested.

United Statesa year ago - Wonderful, Occasionally Not Self-Aware
The research in this is amazing, and the puns are extraordinary! However, they can get really condescending in a “jokey” way that’s just hurtful. Also, after a big string of wonderful exhortations to Believe Women, specifically brought on by Much Ado About Nothing, they later went off on a big tangent about how Anne Boleyn “totally banged” Thomas Wyatt before marrying Henry VIII… despite all of her assertions to the contrary. Which was a bit disappointing. Believe women, y’all.
Apple Podcasts4HPFan543United States2 years ago - Unnecessary foul language infects the show
I don’t mind foul language in its place, in fact I use foul language when the occasion calls for it but casual foul language of the worst sort robs the words of their power and doesn’t give you anywhere to go when you want to use strong words. And I don’t enjoy listening to them in casual conversation which is very much for the case with this podcast.It shows the hosts’ lack of imagination and consideration, and in the end is just tedious.

Jess and Aubrey are the best! These beautiful lady academics are super knowledgeable, they are great at making Shakespeare accessible and understandable, and they are tons of fun to listen to! I would highly recommend this podcast for both those who know nothing of Shakespeare and those who know a lot. As an undergrad who dreams of a future in Shakespeare studies, these women make me so excited for my future.

Truly this was such an amazing resource and one I turned to often as I completed my Shakespeare MFA. It’s fun and multi-dimensional, and brings so many perspective into the conversation without the ego of claiming be-all-end-all correctness. Thank you!!!
