  • Coldplay (Cheaters!) Shakespeare
    Jul 25 2025

    You know... you just can't avoid a lot of stuff that happens over social media these days, and one of those things THIS week was that hilarious outing of the CEO and his bitch at the Coldplay concert.

    I MEAN, HOW DUMB CAN YOU BE?????

    It got us thinking though... what are the instances of infidelity and adultery (real and imagined!) in the Shakespeare canon? We can't believe we haven't talked about this before, but here we go!!!

  • Ages of Shakespeare
    Jul 11 2025

    How old ARE Romeo and Juliet? And Antony and Cleopatra?? And Rosalind and Orlando??? And King Lear????

    In this episode, we discuss not only how old the characters in the canon are (or in many cases, appear to be), but also, whether or not it makes a difference to the story. And on top of THAT, we also talk about how well known actors play characters VERY different from their own age when they play certain roles.

    Ageism, you say?? Nah.

  • Hot Shakespeare!!
    Jun 27 2025

    It's oppressively hot in the Northeast US right now... and that got us thinking about the definition of hot...

    hot - /hät/ adjective

    adjective: hot; comparative adjective: hotter; superlative adjective: hottest

    1. having a high degree of heat or a high temperature.
    2. (of food) containing or consisting of pungent spices or peppers which produce a burning sensation when tasted.
    3. passionately enthusiastic, eager, or excited.
    4. INFORMAL - involving much activity, debate, or intense feeling.
    5. INFORMAL - knowledgeable or skillful.
    6. INFORMAL - difficult to deal with.

    So we decided that in this episode, we discuss those things, people, places, events etc. in the Shakespeare canon (and the like) that fit all of those definitions.

    Hey, it's a way to keep our mind off the blazing heat!!
