BardCast: The Shakespeare Podcast

Coriolanus is a guy whose name ends with the word "anus". There's nothing we can do about that.

If you want to hear about the play, you can listen Here!

Some articles on Coriolanus:

Revisting Shakespeare's Coriolanus: New York Times

T.S. Eliot on Shakespeare

It's no wonder everyone suggested we watch Hollow Crown, it's an excellent production. We talk about it Here!

Indian version of Hamlet on NYTimes

15 Minute Hamlet

Our episode on Richard III is more rushed than a usual episode because the play is extremely long. I'd like to come back to it to explore some of the interesting details we skipped. If anyone would like to hear that kind of episode, let us know!

Kevin Spacey's interview on playing Richard on stage

Ian McKellen's interactive site

To celebrate our third season, we thought we'd make an episode no one was asking for: another book club!

The books we talk about:

The Science of Shakespeare by Dan Falk

The Secret Life of William Shakespeare by Jude Morgan

Ophelia by Lisa Klein

The Book of William by Paul Collins

To Be or Not To Be by Ryan North

The Horatio Hornblower series by CS Forester

The October Daye series by Seanan McGuire

In future episodes we're going to debate the subject, "is Othello about race?" and talking about how to stage Hamlet. Please let us know what you think at [email protected]

Leave the subject name "Othello" or "Hamlet" in the email.

This is our 50th episode! The next episode is the beginning of season three, with our second Book Club episode.

Hamlet Act V is an odd one, like the rest of Hamlet.

Please vote on what you want the next episode to be!
