John Ahlin and Christopher Patrick Mullen are the creators and stars of Chip & Gus: A Comedy with Balls, an amazing two hander in which the two title characters resolve the crisis in their relationship while playing ping-pong at the same time. John and Chris discuss how their shared expertise in table tennis and experience as actors led them to create this unique theatrical event; how the play both is and isn't autobiographical; how they navigate “the Wild West of entertainment” that is the Edinburgh Fringe; how, like Harpo Marx playing the harp on screen, the playing of ping pong onstage also requires no acting; what has to happen when you introduce “Chekhov's Balls;” how the characters of a drowning man and the person least qualified to save him became the subject of their play; multiple sport, game, and Sondheim references; comparisons to the RSC's The Complete World of Sports (abridged); and how, in all the years they've volleyed together – both onstage and at table tennis – they've never played a competitive game to win. (Length 23:00) The post Comedies With Balls appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.

A full accounting of the initiative's impact.Back in 2024, when the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was first proposed, its goals were clear.Elon Musk said he'd attempt to cut $2 trillion from the federal budget. Like many Americans (including me) who are concerned about our debt and deficit, Musk's view was that if government spending didn't meaningfully change, the U.S. was headed for a financial crisis that would leave the country in ruins. In a November 2024 op-ed in The Wall Street Journal, he and Vivek Ramaswamy said they'd operate the new agency as “entrepreneurs, not politicians.” They framed themselves as “volunteers” rather than “federal officials or employees,” and “unlike government commissions,” they would “cut costs,” not just “write reports or cut ribbons.” They would launch this project with a comprehensive audit of the federal government's financial performance to find waste and fraud, then modernize the government to slim down the workforce.These were not vague assurances or goals. This was a specific plan, in black and white print.

Socialism's popularity continues to grow within the Democratic Party, and some of the Right's most important recent figureheads are getting swept up with the wave. What's really going on? Barstool's Kayce Smith joins the program to help Will and The Crew work through why socialist ideas have caught on within the Right, before reacting to Rep. Nancy Mace's (R-SC) bold new look. Plus, they take a look at Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey's rigid dance routine at the Black Entrepreneur State Fair, and a 13-year-old Arizona boy charged with assault... for pelting his ex-girlfriend with dodgeballs during gym class.

August 8, 2026 is the 45th anniversary of the Reduced Shakespeare Company's first performance at the Northern California Renaissance Faire in 1981, and co-artistic directors Reed Martin and Austin Tichenor discuss the RSC's legacy from their respective locations in California and Edinburgh, Scotland. Reed and Austin share the subtle nuances between being a pack-rat and an "archivist;" how it's nearly impossible (or at least too time-consuming to bother) to count the number of performances the RSC has given over the years; favorite moments they've experienced; memorable Edinburgh Fringe highlights; how the RSC helped changed the reputation of the Criterion Theatre, their West End home for almost ten record-breaking years; the generations of artists they've inspired; and how the Reduced Shakespeare Company Podcast has acquired more than four million listens in its 20 years and maybe skipped a week here and there but never missed one. (Length 22:20) (PICTURED, top: RSC founding members Jess Winfield, Daniel Singer, and Adam Long in the early 1980s; bottom: Doug Harvey, Geoffrey Barnes, and Austin Tichenor in 2025.)

The case at Lewes Crown Court was called off after the complainant, referred to only as C, admitted using an AI chatbot. The barrister acting for the accused, argued that a fair trial was impossible.

RSC alum Dee Ryan returns to the 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe to perform the European premiere of Broadguess, her interactive comic Shakespeare solo show. Dee discusses the evolution of her show's script, and its roots in both Shakespeare and improvisation; how she finds the balance between the deep cuts and the funny; her favorite things to do in Edinburgh and where to find the best cream tea; how long it's been since she last performed at the Fringe (in The Complete Millennium Musical (abridged)); the joys of self-production; how Broadguess fits into the grand tradition of Shakespearean solo shows; and how she's looking forward to passing out flyers on the Royal Mile. Come say hi – she loves a chit-chat on a high street! (Length 17:53) The post ‘Broadguess' In Edinburgh appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.

Michael Doherty and Will Mobley return to talk about the continuing adventures of their very funny buddy comedy Dogberry & Verges Are Scared, which runs at Cincinnati Shakespeare Company through July 25, 2026, and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe from August 5-30, 2026 (with the RSC's own Austin Tichenor as Verges). Doherty and Mobley share how the play just keeps getting sharper and tighter; how the clowning manages to also provide insight into Shakespeare's characters and the plays from which they came; how audiences are surprised to encounter unexpected humanity; how it's inspired by Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead; the difference between watching the show from the audience and living inside the words as a cast member; how both authors lead from the codpiece; and the the vital importance of combining silly comedy with heart and humanity.

Rich Harris joins the podcast to discuss his talk, fine-grained everything, exploring fine-grained reactivity, frontend performance, and the real costs of React Server Components and RSC payloads. Rich explains how Svelte and SvelteKit approach co-located data fetching, remote functions, and RPC to reduce server-side rendering costs, improve developer experience, and avoid unnecessary performance overhead on mobile networks. The conversation dives into async rendering, parallel async data fetching, type safety with schema validation, and why async-first frameworks may define the future of JavaScript frameworks and web performance. Links X: https://x.com/Rich_Harris Github: https://github.com/rich-harris Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/rich-harris.dev Resources Modern front-end frameworks like Svelte are astonishingly fast at rendering, thanks to techniques such as signal-based fine-grained reactivity.

Reduced Shakespeare Company founder Daniel Rover Singer returns to talk about his new play Louisa At Fruitlands, about the intersection of Louisa May Alcott, the author of Little Women, when she was a little ten-year-old herself, and the Fruitlands transcendentalist community. Daniel talks about the origins of the RSC and how the landmark work The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) burst the bonds of "the perfect context" of the Northern California Renaissance Faire; how he balances creativity and commercialism; the perils of illegal beard display; the importance of including a tiny bit of Transcendentalism 101; the value of playwrights supervising their own readings before passing it off to a director; and the absolute truism that plays are not written, they're rewritten. (Length 20:34) The post Louisa At Fruitlands appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.

James Fritz's award-winning drama about the UK prison system returns with two contrasting stories of release, told from the perspective of prisoners and staff alike.In this first episode, a prisoner (who listeners met in Series 1) leaves with his paperwork signed and a discharge grant in his pocket, convinced his prayers have been answered. What he doesn't know is that a single clerical error, buried for years in a box of court paperwork, means he should never have been let out at all. As an overstretched prison scrambles to find him, the press whips up a manhunt and ministers demand a name, one question echoes from the courtroom to Whitehall: how could something like this happen?Written by James FritzLee .....

James Fritz's award-winning drama about the UK prison system returns with two contrasting stories of release, told from the perspective of prisoners and staff alike.In this first episode, a prisoner (who listeners met in Series 1) leaves with his paperwork signed and a discharge grant in his pocket, convinced his prayers have been answered. What he doesn't know is that a single clerical error, buried for years in a box of court paperwork, means he should never have been let out at all. As an overstretched prison scrambles to find him, the press whips up a manhunt and ministers demand a name, one question echoes from the courtroom to Whitehall: how could something like this happen?Written by James FritzLee .....

It. Has. Come. Down. To. This. RSC co-artistic director Austin Tichenor is joined by actors, directors, coaches, and Shakespeareans DeeDee Batteast, Elizabeth Dennehy, Gregory Linington, and director/mathemagician Nate Cohen to decide Shakespeare's Best Character in our (mostly) annual Ides of March Madness tournament. The distinguished panel reveals unexpected seeding for some characters fans won't see coming; some heart-stopping upsets; how the depth of some characters compares to the breadth of others; the kind of Rosalind we're all dying to see; how Nate gamed out the entire season to arrive at this field of 64; threading the needle of Best vs. Great vs. Favorite; how some lesser-known characters punch above their recognition level; which character gets (appropriately enough) voted off the island in the first round; a bold approach to Shylock; and a Sweet Sixteen of undeniable greatness that will compete resolutely when our tournament concludes next week. #EdmundWasRight (Length 1:28:58) The post Ides of March Madness 2026 (Part 1) appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.

Whitney White is a theatrical powerhouse. A director, writer, actor, and musician, White's work has been seen on Broadway, Off Broadway, and at major institutions including The Public Theater, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and, most recently, the Royal Shakespeare Company. Her projects include Jaja's African Hair Braiding, The Last Five Years, Macbeth in Stride, and By The Queen, which was featured in the Folger's 2025 Reading Room Festival. In this episode, White discusses All Is But Fantasy, her four-play musical cycle created for the RSC, where it's now receiving its world premiere. The high-energy, gig-theater show investigates Shakespeare's women and ambition, focusing on Lady Macbeth, Emilia, Juliet, and Richard III. Each piece combines performance with original music, using sound and rhythm as a way into the text and as a tool for rethinking these characters whose inner lives are often cut short or overlooked. White reflects on why Shakespeare's women so often meet tragic ends, how those stories continue to feel familiar, and what it means to keep staging them now. She considers the ways that music, performance, and adaptation can help us better understand Shakespeare today. From the Shakespeare Unlimited podcast.
