BardCast: The Shakespeare Podcast

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.

We went to see Hamlet at the Guthrie! Then we made a podcast about what we thought.
We also talk about the Patreon campaign to support the podcast.
This does not count as an "episode" in terms of Patreon. Just a little bonus! Our next episode is Hamlet Act V, which is also our 50th episode! That will make it the end of season 2 of the podcast, how exciting!
After Hamlet, we'll have a vote on what play to do next. We're considering Romeo and Juliet, Coriolanus, Richard the Third, and Henry the Sixth, Part One. If there's something else you'd like to do first, please let us know what you think!

We talk about Hamlet, Act IV. People start dying. I think we're going to do an episode about Polonius Laertes and Ophelia later. Especially considering whether they are necessary to the play.
New websites!

Patreon guide:
Patreon is a service where people can give money to content creators when they produce something. In this case, people can give money to us when we produce podcast episodes. The money goes to defray the expense of producing and hosting the podcast.
You can set limits on the amount of money you can donate. We only produce an episode once a month, so setting a limit of once a month for donations is good. If you only want to donate for a particular amount of time, you can limit the total number of donations as well.

Our choice of the theme for This Episode was not a coincidence: We're starting a Patreon campaign, so Patronage in Shakespeare's time seemed appropriate.
The Patreon page can be found HERE. You can set an automatic donation to the podcast with the release of each new episode. Thanks for everyone's past and future support!

Sorry about the delay everyone. We both have part time jobs that make it difficult to find a time to work together, and we had to scrap an episode that didn't work, and we got discouraged about the whole process, but here's a new episode!
Measure for Measure is about justice, and how law and justice can be opposed. Particularly, it's about how laws about sexual conduct aren't followed, so this one isn't for kids.
