Contrary to popular belief and the stubborn insistence of academia, the man named William Shakespeare, a lifelong resident of Stratford-upon-Avon in England, was not the world-renowned poet, playwright and actor who wrote under the pen name of ‘William Shake-speare,’ nor did he ever claim to be. Who then was the real ‘William Shakespeare,’ and how do we know this for a fact? By reviewing the phenomenal amount of evidence supporting this conclusion compiled by my guest during her intensive, in-depth, seven year-long investigation into the question. It’s the subject of Monday’s “Meanwhile, Here On Earth.”Katherine Chiljan is an independent scholar who has studied the Shakespeare authorship question for more than 28 years. Chiljan is a graduate of U.C.L.A. (B.A. History) who first became interested in the controversy when Charlton Ogburn, author of The Mysterious William Shakespeare (1984), appeared in a TV debate with a Shakespeare professor. She then started doing her own research, eventually publishing two anthologies about the 17th Earl of Oxford, and acting as editor of the Shakespeare-Oxford Newsletter. In 2003, she debated English professors on the topic at the Smithsonian Institution. Chiljan was inspired to write Shakespeare Suppressed: The Uncensored Truth About Shakespeare and His Works (2011) after hearing a prominent English professor insult doubters of the traditional Shakespeare on national television. The book took almost seven years to complete and earned her an award for distinguished scholarship from Concordia University, Portland, OR, in April 2012.

Born and raised in New York City, Mike Brenner graduated from the Bronx high school of science Columbia University, University of Pennsylvania graduate school of Fine Arts, and George Washington University School of Medicine. He's been an architect and a psychiatrist, and in his early 20s, began his exploration beyond mainstream science. Brenner challenges the skeptic to ask, what if? What if the ills that have beset humanity since the inception of our species really do stem from our misuse and abuse at the hands of aliens who call themselves gods and whose presence is evidenced in ancient texts and mythologies. What if an awareness of this historical origin could begin to heal our broken world through really integrated spiritual life, reorienting therapy, reframed politics? Join us for what I expect will be a memorable discussion/interview.
