- S2E2 Shakespeare's Wet Dream, "Fairy Dimensions"
Rey and Mikey head into the woods with Lysander, Hermia, Demetrius, and Helena, and meet a bunch of fairies in the darkness and confusion there. All of it relates, in some way, to a kidnapped Ethiopian prince. Act II, Scene I of Shakespeare's most popular rom-com A Midsummer Night's Dream is covered.
1 hr 25 min - S2E1 Shakespeare's Wet Dream, "Bracelets and Meat"
The first episode in Rey and Mikey's discussion of Shakespeare's immortal rom-com A Midsummer Night's Dream. In this extra-long season premiere, they discuss the patriarchy, ancient Greek courting practices, and "the power of the sea". Special appearance by Jason Statham, as Snug the Joiner.
1 hr 40 min - Nonrequired Reading: "Introducing Dr. Robert S. Miola"
Dr. Robert S. Miola, editor of the Norton Second Critical Edition of Hamlet, drops in to school Rey and Mikey on scene and act divisions in the play, and also gives a rare glimpse into the nightlife of Shakespearean scholars.
43 min - Nonrequired Reading: "It's Always New Year's Somewhere in the World"
Rey and Mikey relax with friends old and new on New Year's Eve 2022, and consider the choices they've made in their lives. Special guests: Stephanie Crugnola of the "Protest Too Much" podcast, as well as the extended WHAR family. Musical guest: Joe Galuppo, with additional music by Dana Sellers.
49 min - S1E9 Hamlet is an Asshole, "The Rest is Silence"

49 min - S1E7 Hamlet is an Asshole, "Sponge Talk With Rey and Mikey"
Rey and Mikey finish discussing Act 4 of Hamlet, which does not actually feature any sponges. That was in the last episode, so I'm not sure why they're still talking about that.
37 min - S1E6 Hamlet is an Asshole, "Castle Blood"
Ron Paulonius is dead, Hamlet is getting sent to England, and Rey and Mikey put out a call for Enya to get involved, as they discuss what would conventionally be considered Acts 4.1-4.5 of Hamlet. This episode, really, is just for Enya. If you're not Enya, you probably wouldn't be interested.

More curtains. Really, Rey and Mikey just can't stop talking about the curtains, as they finish out Act 3 of Hamlet and witness ultimate the fate of Ron Paulonius.
43 min - S1E4 Hamlet is an Asshole, "The Recorder Question"
If you wanted to hide behind the furniture in a Danish castle, what are the options? Rey and Mikey ponder this and the plight of the working man in Hamlet, as they discuss Acts 3.1-3.2.
