What happens when your greatest strength becomes your deadliest weakness? In this episode, we dive into Othello — Shakespeare's razor-sharp thriller about jealousy, manipulation, and how quickly a good person can be destroyed from the inside out. Othello is a celebrated general, a man who has fought his way to the top against every odd. But one person decides to ruin him, and the weapon they choose is his own trusting heart. We break down this 400-year-old play in plain English — no prior knowledge needed — and explore why it still hits so hard today. We're talking toxic relationships, racial prejudice, gaslighting before anyone had a word for it, and the terrifying speed at which trust can be weaponised. Whether you're a total Shakespeare beginner or just need a refresher, this episode makes the story impossible to forget. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
