May 07, 2020 The Basics - Episode 03 (Prose)

April 28, 2020 Book Club!
Hello listeners!
This is your invitation to participate in a read-along challenge, a kind of Book Club side-project for The Hamlet Podcast.
Every week we'll read a different play, and hopefully we'll be able to say we read Shakespeare's complete works in 2020. Are you in?
Week One: Richard II.
Tune in on Saturday and we'll discuss it.
