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.

During her daily perusal of The New York Times, LA came upon an article entitled "Who's Afraid of William Shakespeare?" written by Drew Lichtenberg, the artistic producer at the Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington.

Texting it to Owen, immediately upon finishing said article, we decided that this was serious fodder for our pod.

In case you want to read along, it was published on October 21, 2024.

pathetic /pəˈθet̬.ɪk/

1. arousing pity, especially through vulnerability or sadness.
2. miserably inadequate; of very low standard.
3. ARCHAIC - relating to the emotions.

This episode, dear listeners, is our conversation about which characters in the Shakespeare canon can be considered pathetic. As you can see, there's a range - do you agree or disagree with us???

Oh dear listeners.....

We are truly bummed. The world has lost a major light, a star, a talent without compare, a "National Treasure," as King Charles said.

Dame Margaret Natalie Smith passed away on September 27, 2024 at the ripe old age of 89.

This is our heartfelt tribute.

We love you, Maggie - rest well. And make some amazing art with all your compatriots in the hereafter!!!
