• Grouchy Shakespeare
    Feb 20 2026

    Sent us a text, you dicks!!

    The weather outside is STILL frightful, but getting better. Nonetheless, dealing with it has made us grouchy. And cranky. And fussy. So we thought...

    Who are the grouchiest characters in the Shakespeare canon? And what are the degrees of grouchiness? In this episode, we (crankily) discuss this topic.

    Who can you think of that we missed? Write us and we'll send you COOOOOOOL swag!!!!!

    Feb 6 2026

    Sent us a text, you dicks!!

    We've been thinking a lot about the cold... a huge snow storm where we live, bitter temperatures, the protests against the employees of the Dept. of Homeland Security... sigh. Shit IS ice cold!!! Also, LA is currently directing a production of The Winter's Tale and there is some COLD freakin' behaviour in that play!!!!!!

    So we thought... who are the coldest characters in the Shakespeare canon? What are some of the iciest moments?? Who's the Shakespearean Mr. or Ms. Freeze???

    We discuss. Who can you think of that we missed? Write us and we'll send you COOOOOOOL swag!!!!!

    Asses, butts, behinds, and fistulas.... what do they all have in common?

    Actually, we were just amused at the thought of an episode about asses, so there you are.

    What did we miss?

    Sent us a text, you dicks!!

    Now... both of us have taught in institutions of higher learning. And both of us have engaged in scholarly discussion of the Shakespeare canon from time to time, but first and foremost, we are actors and creatives and THAT is how we look at the text.

    What's the difference between how an actor views a Shakespeare play and how an academic views a play? And FYI, loving to teach and loving academia are not the same thing. This is what we discuss in this episode. Textbooks OUT!!!!

  • Jive Turkey Shakespeare
    Dec 12 2025

    Sent us a text, you dicks!!

    This its our belated Thanksgiving episode, dicks and dickesses!!! We are talking about those characters in the canon who are truly jive turkeys. Oxford Dictionary says "a dishonest, insincere, or foolish person." But it's not that simple - people are complicated!!! We only thought of a few definitive jive turkeys, albeit other characters have some jive turkey-esque qualities.

    Who can YOU think of???

  • Ass Reaming Shakespeare
    Nov 14 2025

    Sent us a text, you dicks!!

    To be completely honest, this episode came directly out of the fact that Owen had a colonoscopy the day we recorded.

    However, we stand by it - there are TONS of ass reams in the Shakespeare canon. People are always yelling at each other.

    That's what we're discussing today. Short and sweet. Can you think of any we missed?
