The hosts, Danielle and Charlotte, are so chill, knowledgable, and real. Their dialogues about the plays are super understandable, simple, and accessible to even people who don’t know much about Shakespeare. Like Me! :) Love this podcast.
If only this podcast existed when I was in high school I might have understood Shakespeare! This is hilarious and on top of that makes Shakespeare so accessible and fun to learn about. You don’t have to be a Shakespeare expect to enjoy!
Got a flyer for the podcast in line for Shakespeare in the Park. After the play (which was great), I was jonesing for more Shakespeare, and so I listened to an episode of the podcast and loved it. 5 stars!
Honestly when this show popped back up in my feed earlier this year it was like an unexpected present from a friend showing up in my mail box. Charlotte and Danielle have great energy together, as well as expert analysis skills and a broad knowledge of both Shakespeare and theater generally. Their conversations are fun to listen to both when I have and when I haven’t read the plays they’re discussing. They’re well worth a listen. Welcome back!
Such a fun listen!
