Shakespeare Anyone? is the award-winning podcast that makes Shakespeare easier to understand.
Through exploring history and modern scholarship, we look at how the plays and the playwright fit into their world and today’s world. We examine one play at a time for an extended window of time, interspersed with mini-episodes about Shakespeare’s time for context.
Shakespeare Anyone? is hosted and produced by Elyse Sharp and Kourtney Smith, two professional actors and Shakespeare scholars.
Episodes are released every other week.
