On this episode, Daniel Hahn OBE joins Chad to talk about his new book, If This Be Magic: The Unlikely Art of Shakespeare in Translation. They discuss how the book foregrounds the roles creativity and interpretation play in translation, what a good companion piece it is to Hahn’s Catching Fire: A Translator’s Diary, the ways this book may bring people to both translation and Shakespeare, and the state of the field as a whole.

This episode’s music is “Kate’s Theme” by Kloyd.
