Has me reading Shakespeare

This podcast is amazing. I started listening a few years ago back with episode one and have been listening consistently ever since. I read the sections that are discussed ahead of time and us I’m giving the reading in and then the fantastic commentary and presentation of the scenes. I’d always want to read more Shakespeare and this has assisted me to accomplish that. Just finished Henry 4 part 2.

Superbly Explained 🤗

I love how this takes the confusing words and plots of Skakespeare and breaks them down into plain English.
I could do without the jarring, annoying music that begins each episode, but hey, we can’t always get what we want.

Keep on choppin’!!!

They do not love that do not SHOW their love. So, here’s five stars. Love this podcast I just found two months ago (that’s been running for fifteen years). Looks like I have some catching up to do and I’ll love every second of it.
I wasn’t sure I could comprehend The Bard, but thanks to Ehren, it’s much easier and rich than I anticipated.
By the way, I’m Aaron as well, I just spell it the right way lol.
