And how do we make Shakespeare not just doable in our homeschools, but delightful?Today, we'll talk through a simple framework your family can use to experience one of the richest and most rewarding literary treasures in the world in a way that is absolutely magical and a whole lot of fun.I'm willing to bet that if you implement the framework that we discuss in this episode, you won't mistake Shakespeare for a school subject ever again!In this episode, you'll hear: Why we don't start teaching Shakespeare with the original textSimple, easy ways to build connections with Shakespeare's works and with each otherHow incorporating performance makes Shakespeare come alive for the whole familyLearn more about Sarah Mackenzie:Read-Aloud RevivalWaxwing BooksSubscribe to the NewsletterFind the rest of the show notes at: readaloudrevival.com/how-to-shakespeare

Join us for Shakespeare Summer!When most of us hear the name “Shakespeare,” we probably think back to a high school classroom, fluorescent lights buzzing overhead, while we struggled through Romeo and Juliet line by line—“wherefore art thou” and all that.But here's the truth: Shakespeare was never meant to be dissected like a frog under a microscope. His work, in fact, was never meant to be read AT ALL. He meant for his plays to be experienced. To be performed, seen, heard, and felt.We tend to think of Shakespeare as a school subject. Or that we should read it as part of a rich literature curriculum in order for our children to be well-versed academically.While Shakespeare's plays are part of a rich literary heritage, I want to make a case today that Shakespeare is not a subject at all. It's not a thing you “should” do in your homeschool to have well-educated kids. Today, I want to talk about why experiencing Shakespeare with your kids might be one of the most joyful things you ever do together. And one of my very favorite people, Ken Ludwig, celebrated playwright, fellow Shakespeare nerd, and author of How to Teach Your Children Shakespeare, joins me to help me make my case.In this episode, you'll hear: What traditional classrooms often get wrong when introducing ShakespeareWhy Ken recommends having kids start with reciting and memorizing passages How Shakespeare provides an entry to point to learning and loving complex languageLearn more about Sarah Mackenzie:Read-Aloud RevivalWaxwing BooksSubscribe to the NewsletterFind the rest of the show notes: readaloudrevival.com/shakespeare-is-not-school

‘Tell Me If You're Seeing Someone Else' — Karen Read's Texts Read Aloud in Court What happens when a murder case becomes more about the investigator than the evidence? In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski is joined by Defense Attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries to unravel the legal chaos surrounding the Karen Read trial. With Proctor—the lead investigator—accused of bias and misconduct, and crucial physical evidence like hair and taillight fragments pointing in conflicting directions, the courtroom becomes a battleground for credibility. Is this a textbook example of reasonable doubt, or a tragic accident wrapped in conspiracy and bad policing? Motta dives deep into why this case is less about what happened and more about what can be proven, and exposes the strategic decisions that could make or break the defense. This isn't just another true crime episode—it's a raw look at how fragile justice can be when personal bias contaminates the process. #KarenRead #HiddenKillersPodcast #BobMotta #DefenseDiaries #JohnOKeefe #ProctorInvestigation #ReasonableDoubt #TrueCrimeAnalysis #CorruptCops #LegalDrama Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

One of my favorite reads of 2024 was The Myth Makers by John Hendrix.This gorgeous graphic novel tells the story of the remarkable friendship of C. S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. I thought I already knew quite a bit about these Inklings, but there was even more to uncover.Today, I'm delighted to share my conversation with the author and illustrator of The Myth Makers, John Hendrix. We dive into his research and writing process, exploring how the threads of the story came together. In this episode, Jon shares a better definition of myth, and illustrates the differences between a myth, a fairytale, and a story. I even make him choose which series he'd rather bring to a desert island, The Chronicles of Narnia or The Lord of the Rings. In this episode, you'll hear: John's creative process for creating graphic novels How choose-your-own adventure stories inspired the The Myth Makers Why John chose the Lion and the Wizard as his main characters Learn more about Sarah Mackenzie:Read-Aloud RevivalWaxwing BooksSubscribe to the NewsletterFind the rest of the show notes at: readaloudrevival.com/john-hendrix
