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!!

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.)

As a follow up to our last episode, today we discuss the best roles in the Shakespeare canon.

SPOILER: There are A LOT more good ones than bad ones.

Check out Season 2 Episode 41 for our "A Visit From Saint Falstaff!!!"

Merry and Warm Everything and Happy New Year - you dicks and dickesses!!! (I - LA - want to note here that my laptop always changes dickesses to dickenses, which is amazingly appropriate this time of year.)

Whoever said there are no small roles, only small actors... is full of shit.

YES THERE ARE!!!! There are hundreds of small roles in the Shakespeare canon, and a lot of them SUCK. (As do some not so small roles.)

In this episode, we slap that stupid phrase right out of the proverbial mouth and discuss all the roles we can think of that fit this particular (crappy) bill.

"Travelers ne'er did lie,
Though fools at home condemn 'em."
- Antonio, The Tempest, Act III Scene 3

Oh, the traveling life!!! We LOVE to travel, and we think Shakespeare felt the same way, because he uses SOOOOO many different countries and places in the canon!

In today's episode, we discuss the myriad of locations in Shakespeare plays.

Book your tickets and let's go!!!

Well..........................

It happened. And we're none too pleased about it.

But we have to move forward. Kind of. So this episode is - ostensibly - about where we see parallels in the Shakespeare canon.

Enjoy. If you are able.
