Quacks and Shysters in Shakespeare

12/1/2023
Yeah, yeah, we know... talk about lawyers in Shakespeare and everyone quotes the famous line to kill them all. But do they actually need to all be killed? And what about the doctors in the canon? Are they as shitty as the lawyers? In this episode, we ponder those very questions, and discuss the characters that fall in those categories.

At Your Service Shakespeare

10/6/2023
"Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'...." To be fair, servants in Shakespeare's day worked a LOT longer than 9 to 5, but the "what a way to make a living'" part is still very applicable. Who are the servants in the Shakespeare canon? What are the different levels of servitude? And what purpose do they serve?? In this episode, we discuss all the characters that sweat and serve and attend and wait (on people). Wench!!! Bring me my drink, my pipe, and my slippers!!!!

AI Shakespeare - The Return of CHAT GPT - Pro Version!

7/14/2023
So, dear listeners... several episodes ago, we dove headlong into the world of AI. We asked CHATGPT to write sequels of three Shakespeare plays for us. (We also asked for a synopsis of the original plays). They BLEW. Then we found out that there was (apparently) a SMARTER version of CHAT GPT. That, of course, you have to pay for.

Woke Shakespeare

6/2/2023
Merriam Webster's definition of "woke" is as follows: Woke (chiefly US slang) - 1a: aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice) - often used in contexts that suggest someone's expressed beliefs about such matters are not backed with genuine concern or action. In this episode, we discuss a particular American production of a Shakespeare play that we feel falls under the above heading. And not necessarily in a good way. We strongly encourage anyone who listens and has a differing opinion or a comment about this episode (or the subject in general) to PLEASE contact us - let's start a dialogue!!!
