Five centuries on, and no one has stolen the spotlight quite like him.

William Shakespeare, lover, rebel, genius, upstart crow, remains the undisputed heavyweight of the literary world. But how did the son of a glove-maker from Stratford-upon-Avon rise to become the most quoted man in history? Why does his work still speak to us across time, language, and culture? And who exactly called him a “sexy poet”?

In this thrilling episode, Keith Hockton dives headfirst into the myth and magic of the Bard—unraveling the scandals, the rivalries, the timeless plays, and the poetry that seduced queens and commoners alike.

So whether you’re a Shakespeare devotee or just wondering what all the fuss is about, pour yourself a drink and join us for an unforgettable romp through love, death, ambition, and the power of words that changed the world.
