12 min • 14 september 2023

Welcome to Something Shakespeare This Way Comes, a podcast made by a nerd who wants to share my love of the Bard. Take a listen to a learn a little more about why I'm making this podcast and why Shakespeare is still relevant in the modern world.

Come back for future discussions of plays, sonnets, characters, movie adaptations, and historical context about Elizabethan theater. Also one day we'll cover what the deal is with Sonnet 113.
