August 12, 2021 Nudie Reads Same Clown, Two Theatres [S1E60]
Joseph Grimaldi was England's beloved clown sensation. People laughed til they cried at his antics. And for one month he wowed them in 2 separate theatres every night. If only he had a clown car. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🤡🎭🫖🇮🇹

August 08, 2021 Nudie Reads Shakespeare [S1E59]
William Shakespeare is the G.O.A.T. 38 plays and over 150 sonnets, all of them quotable and deeply moving. While "Et Tu, Brute?" is probably not original to him, the rest of the play Julius Caesar is. Marc Antony's speech at Caesar's funeral definitely is. It's a triumph of sorrow and anger. 🇬🇧🐐❤️😡😞

August 05, 2021 Nudie Reads Lupercalia Valentine [S1E58]
Why is St Valentine's Day associated with romantic love? Could the kooky Roman festival of Lupercalia have been the inspiration? Reverend Sabine Baring-Gould, author of Lives of the Saints, won't say in his word perfect entry on St Valentine. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🫖📿♥️🐺

August 01, 2021 Nudie Reads Chaucer Unchained [S1E57]
Mrs H.R Haweis wrote Chaucer for Children: The Golden Key in 1877 for her little boy Lionel. A Victorian scholar, writer, painter, illustrator and women's vote advocate Mary Eliza Haweis was a prolific author who could make even crusty old 14th century Chaucer a fascinating subject and a reader's delight. 🇬🇧⛪️🍻👣

July 29, 2021 Nudie Reads Galileo Frankenstein [S1E56]
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley knew her monsters. She was beloved as the author of Frankenstein. But she was also beloved as a skilled researcher and historian. She authored 5 volumes of Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopaedia all about famed men of science and literature. Her entry on Galileo and his the monstrous trial by the Inquisition at Rome in 1633 is a masterpiece. 🇬🇧😈🇮🇹🔭⛪️🍷

July 25, 2021 Nudie Reads Cyrano De Bergerac [S1E55]
Cyrano de Bergerac was a real swashbuckling duellist of 17th Century France. And he wrote one of the world's first ever fully-fledged sci-fi stories. The 19th Century play about him and the Hollywood adaptation 'Roxanne' starring Steve Martin are great. But the real fellow was not just a big-nosed pretty face. He was a great writer. 🇫🇷🗡🤺✍️🌝🌞

July 22, 2021 Nudie Reads Throw The Kid Out [S1E54]
O. Henry was the nom de plume of William Sydney Porter, a gem of an American writer active around the turn of the 20th century. Very active, in fact: over 300 short stories, and most of them containing his signature feature - the plot twist. The Ransom of the Red Chief is a particular gem. No spoilers. Enjoy. 🇺🇸✍️📝🌳💰

July 20, 2021 Nudie Reads Witch-hunters' Bible [S1E53]
Malleus Maleficarum or The Hammer of the Witches was the infamous 15th Century witch-hunters' bible. A treatise on trying, sentencing and expiring witches that was disavowed by the Vatican within 4 years of its publication but somehow it stayed a popular best seller for almost 200 years. It's a humourless and illogical masterpiece of sheer bombastic persuasion - written from the standpoint that demons, witches and the devil are all real. Mad. 🇩🇪⛪️📖🏹🧙👺

July 15, 2021 Nudie Reads The Law Is An Ass [S1E52]
It was Charles Dickens who gave us "The Law is an Ass" as an astute observation that sometimes law and lawyers can go off the rails. Lousy writers have often written silly laws but great writers are inspired by it. A little mockery is a good thing. 🥔🚲🐾🪑👨‍⚖️

July 11, 2021 Nudie Reads Fibonacci's Rabbits [S1E51]
1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 etc. Leonardo Bonacci of Pisa is the famous Fibonacci of the infamous Fibonacci Sequence: a mathematical sequence observed in nature and useful for unlocking Swiss bank accounts (spoiler alert - The Da Vinci Code). Clearly and concisely written in 1202 all about those pesky varmints, rabbits. Fibonacci was not just good with numbers, he handled words brilliantly too. 🇮🇹🏰 🧮🐇
