Mini Series-Prologue Hello everyone, How are you doing? I hope you are having a good time being quarantined. I am grateful for this chance to share a series of small episodes to you. In continuing with our Star Wars theme, I have decided to read a scene from each of the William Shakespeare's Star Wars. I Do Not own the copy right, I am just using this chance to promote the books and the series and think you would enjoy this immensely. These episodes will be short around like 5-11 minutes. I hope that you enjoy these readings. Please make some good choices.
In the midst of a more-scandalous-than-usual news cycle, Ian Doescher joins us to talk about his new political satire, MacTrump. MacTrump gives an over-the-top (or over the top-er) version of the first two years of the Trump Administration, all in 5 act format, all in iambic pentameter. If you're needing a more long-form laugh than 240 characters, this might be the pick for you. Ian's is an especially fortunate publishing journey. A lifetime love of Shakespeare and a recent rewatch of A New Hope sparked the idea for William Shakespeare's Star Wars, which reimagines the beloved sci-fi series through an approximation of the Bard's pen. Ian contacted the editor listed on Quirk Books' website, who published Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, with his pitch—and they were super down. And also happened to have collaborated with Lucasfilm in the past. Now, with eleven books already written and four in the works, Ian is ensuring that the spirit of Shakespeare is carried here hence forthwith (am I doing it right?). You can find MacTrump wherever books are sold. Or you can enter to win it (week of Oct 2–9, 2019) here: https://hybridpubscout.com/giveaways/win-mactrump/ Please rate and review us on whatever podcast platform you happen to use.

When David Borgenicht co-wrote The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook in 1999, he never expected it to sell 10-million copies and inspire two TV shows and 30 spin-off books. But that's what happened. Twenty years later, an updated version of the handbook is out. David joins the show to talk about survival in the 21st century and his mashup-obsessed publishing company Quirk Books, which is behind Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and William Shakespeare's Star Wars.

We talk to Ian Doescher, the author of William Shakespeare's Star Wars
Episode Overview: 400 years ago this month, William Shakespeare shuffled off this mortal coil but the show must go on, so OverDrive's Professional Book Nerds are discussing the man behind the myth in our latest episode. We also talk about whether or not it really matters if William Shakespeare actually wrote all of the plays attributed to him. After all, what's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Regardless of reading choices, remember -- when the question is asked To Read Or Not To Read, the answer should always be to read! Along with doing some Shakespeare fangirling, we cover all of the books we've recently read, some of the upcoming books we are (not so) patiently waiting for, and also offer tips on getting through book ennui.
