- Coming Soon: The Everyday Shakespeare Podcast
Two Shakespeare professors travel back in time to offer funny, fresh insights into some of your most pressing modern problems. What would the Capulets hoard during a plague outbreak? Could a 16th-century remedy for staying young work for me? (And am I willing to drink the urine of a male child to find out?) How would Lady MacBeth secure her kid's spot as pee-wee soccer team captain? Whether you're dealing with an aging libido, a pandemic, or a dysfunctional family gathering, you'll feel a little bit better when Bard meets life. New episodes drop every other Monday.

About Everyday Shakespeare
From the publisher's feed
Hosts Caroline Bicks and Michelle Ephraim are Shakespeare professors and close friends who love to bond over the ways Shakespeare's plays help them through their everyday dramas.
In each episode, they go back to Shakespeare's day to bring you some funny, fresh insights into a pressing modern problem. They'll explore popular Renaissance writings – from parenting books to cosmetics manuals – and, of course, plays – and talk about their uncanny connections to our everyday struggles. Whether you're dealing with an aging libido, a pandemic, or a dysfunctional family gathering, you'll feel a little bit better when Bard meets life.
Caroline is the Stephen E. King Chair in Literature at the University of Maine, and Michelle is Professor of English at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. They've shared their unique brand of Bard-meets-life humor everywhere from the New York Times and the Moth Radio Hour to McSweeney's Internet Tendency, and are the co-authors of Shakespeare, Not Stirred: Cocktails for Your Everyday Dramas.
