The Semi-Sages are sheltering at home! Join us (virtually) as we learn about how writers have survived and thrived through sickness and pandemics in history. This is a PART 1, which centers around the life and works of William Shakespeare, a man plagued by plague (starts at 15:30).
Also, we devolve into discussing the alleged origin of the phrase "shit-faced drunk."
