  • Poke the Bear Shakespeare
    Feb 21 2025

    LA knows how fussy Owen gets when she gives him an online Shakespeare quiz that is TERRIBLE. And it kind of absolutely delights her. Because it pokes the bear (Owen).

    In this episode, LA gives Owen a 44 question Shakespeare quiz from the website Quizlet.

    And it is FUCKING HORRIBLE. Not only are the so-called "answers" to some of the questions completely ridiculous and WRONG, but things are misspelled. Like normal things. Like, words that should never be misspelled on a TEACHING WEBSITE.

    Sigh. The state of education in the old US of A is REALLY scary.

    Living in the United States currently means that as much as we might try to not get obsessed over the shit show that is our country right now, it seeps in like a noxious gas. So we figured - might as well make use of it!!

    In this episode, we discuss how all the characters in the canon might have voted in this last round of US elections. Some are harder to figure out than you might think!!

    ALSO!!!! We were chosen as Number 2 of the 20 Best Shakespeare Podcasts Worth Listening to in 2025, right after the Folger!!! We are SO impressed with ourselves!!!! Check it out - here's the link!!

  • Cymbeline Shakespeare
    Jan 24 2025

    Have YOU ever seen a production of Cymbeline??? Owen hasn't, and Lisa Ann has only seen it once.

    HOWEVER!!!! We ARE seeing it at The Globe in London in March, and we decided to delve a little further into the play that really is quite seldom done.

    NOTE: LA is sounding rough from the shittiest flu EVER. Apologies. (Sneeze, cough, wheeze, rasp.)
