Song and Dance Shakespeare (Tra la, tra la, tra la!)
The Bardcast: "It's Shakespeare, You Dick!"
04/15/22 • 38 min
Where the bee sucks, there suck we!
In today's episode, we discuss all the songs and dances mentioned in Shakespeare plays. There's a LOT!!! Those Elizabethans like to PAR-TAY!!!!!
Also, Shakespeare used vocal music to evoke mood, or to establish the character or the mental state of the singer.
So sigh no more, ladies (and gents, and others), sigh no more - and fill up your dance cards with a galliard, or maybe a coranto... and if all else fails, JIG, baby, JIG!!!!

Well... we had SO MUCH FUN playing Trivial Pursuit Shakespeare that we decided to invite some of our favorite nerdy Shakespeare peeps and play another Shakespeare themed game - Bards Dispense Profanity!!! It's basically the Shakespeare version of Cards Against Humanity - get it?? Get the play on words???
Much profanity was dispensed. (The attitude adjustment substances were helpful, to be sure, but we went for it!!)
So grab a libation or an herb of your choice and enjoy, friends and listeners!!! (Will knows WE did!!)

Foolish Shakespeare
The Bardcast: "It's Shakespeare, You Dick!"
07/22/22 • 35 min
Be A Clown, Be A Clown,
All The World Loves A Clown.
Act A Fool, Play The Calf,
And You'll Always Have The Last Laugh!!
And it's true!!! Gene Kelly and Judy Garland knew what they were talking about... we privately wonder if they were bardolaters behind closed doors!!
The clowns and fools in Shakespeare not only make us laugh uproariously, but Shakespeare puts words of razor sharp wit in their mouths to illuminate the human condition.
But what exactly designates one character a fool, and one a clown??

Yaaasss Queen Shakespeare
The Bardcast: "It's Shakespeare, You Dick!"
08/05/22 • 56 min
We all know that women didn't have a ton of power in the home in the Elizabethan Age - except for Elizabeth, of course! Shakespeare did good things for female characters, even though it was men who played them!
In this episode, we discuss not only the actual Queens in Shakespeare's plays, but those women who are head of a household.
Dayum, bitch - it was hard being a girl!!!

En Garde!!
Now... we know there are TONS of battles in Shakespeare plays... but what about the quintessential duel??
How many times does a duel happen in the canon?
And for that matter, how many examples of single combat are there in the plays??
On today's episode we attempt to answer this questions!!

MAGA Shakespeare
The Bardcast: "It's Shakespeare, You Dick!"
02/07/25 • 53 min
Living in the United States currently means that as much as we might try to not get obsessed over the shit show that is our country right now, it seeps in like a noxious gas. So we figured - might as well make use of it!!
In this episode, we discuss how all the characters in the canon might have voted in this last round of US elections. Some are harder to figure out than you might think!!
ALSO!!!! We were chosen as Number 2 of the 20 Best Shakespeare Podcasts Worth Listening to in 2025, right after the Folger!!! We are SO impressed with ourselves!!!! Check it out - here's the link!!
