    Episode 77 - Lysistrata
    Mar 11 2026

    Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. In our seventy-seventh episode and International Women's Day Special, we cover one of the randiest, bawdiest texts we've had on the show: Aristophanes's sex-strike comedy, Lysistrata (411BC). We notice a dildo discrepancy, get a surprise visit from wee Donalbain, and get a lot of help from friend of the podcast (and Ancient Greek scholar) Fabio!

    Episode 76 - Much Ado About Nothing
    Feb 11 2026

    Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. In our seventy-six episode and Valentine's Day Special, we go back to basics with a Shakespeare romcom: Much Ado About Nothing (i.e., a lot of fuss about a vagina). We lament the lack of effort given to masquerade balls, Daniel makes endless fart jokes (to Abby's increasing annoyance), grow weary of the Beatrice and Benedick schtick, and give some massive side-eye to Claudio and Hero's twisted relationship.
