In this episode we discuss Romeo and Juliet and how beautifully raunchy it is, ET CETERA (you'll know what that means when you listen). We also roll out two new features, "The Rhetorical Device of the Week" (this week it's litotes) and "The Burbage Break" (this week it's about Burbage Breaks).  Also, Aubrey was a dummy and didn't turn on her special microphone. Oops.
